Give to the food drive

OK. It's time to look through your kitchen cabinets and pantries and start gathering canned goods and nonperishables for the Letter Carriers' Food Drive.
I'm giving you advance notice because if you don't have the food at home, you still have time to run out and buy some.
The food drive is next weekend, May 12.
It's for a good cause and there's really not a lot of work involved.
All you have to do is get the food together, put it in a bag, or bags if you're really generous and place it next to your mailbox. That's it. The letter carriers will pick up the food as they deliver your mail.
And if by chance your food doesn't get picked up, be sure to call 677-2249.
This year’s goal is to collect 72,000 pounds of canned goods and nonperishable food items.
All donations are kept locally and distributed through several organizations, including the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank, Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Caddo Council on Aging and Christ the King Church in Bossier City.
So don't forget: May 12.
