On behalf of the employees of the Dillon Post Office, please allow me to express my appreciation to our customers for their participation in last Saturday’s 23rd annual ‘Stamp Out Hunger’ Letter Carriers Food Drive. This event is the World’s Largest One-Day Food Drive. It allows every resident in Dillon County and across the nation to donate food that ultimately stays within the community to help our needy neighbors. In South Carolina, where many struggle with poverty–23% of our children live below the poverty line. During this time of year, when donations made during the holidays are running low, and children who were fed in school lunch programs will soon be out of school, your donations will be quickly put to good use. We collected over 29,817 lbs. of food, this year, which was more than last year. Helping Hands Food Bank in Dillon received all donations.
We are very proud to serve a community that takes care of its own.
