The Perry Post Office staff recently gave back to the area food pantry as a part of a national initiative.  

On Monday, the post office employees delivered five grocery carts full of a variety of non-perishable food items to the Perry Emergency Food Pantry. The donation was a part of the National Association of Letter Carriers nationwide initiative called “Stamp Out the Hunger Food Drive,” which asked residents to leave a bag of non-perishable food items next their mailbox on May 13th for a local letter carrier to pick up and drop off at a local food pantry. 

The Perry Emergency Food Pantry says they have seen an increase in customers in the last six weeks and they thanked the post office for their donation.
