Stamp Out Hunger

BOONE, Iowa---Postal carriers at the Boone Post Office felt pretty good about their "Help Stamp Out Hunger" food drive for the local food pantries last Saturday. Debbi Wirtz told KWBG that 4,439 lbs of nonperishable food items were collected during the event, with both Red Rock Community Action and the Salvation Army benefiting from the drive. Wirtz says a big "Thanks" goes out to family members that joined letter carriers with the effort Saturday. The benefit of the "Help Stamp Out Hunger" campaign is filling food bank shelves as schools let out and children no longer have access to school lunches.
