Stories from the frontlines: Letter Carriers who serve Sonoma County

"It's Hernia Day!" joked Jerry Andersen, president of NALC Branch 183. "Every year I'm impressed by the full boxes and bags of food that we pick up! I've been on the same route for 28 years and I'll always remember an elderly lady that would buy cases of water and cans of food throughout the year, just so she could donate to the Letter Carriers' Food Drive. She made it a priority in her budget because she cared so much!"

"Its so great to see all of our Postal employees coming together for this cause", said carrier Ken Paradise. "Our Postmaster and her family spent 3-4 hours last year on Food Drive day, working out on our dock, sorting and loading food for the Food Bank. Everyone cares about our customers, especially since the need is so much greater this year!"
