Colecta de Alimentos en Escambia y Santa Rosa: Sábado, 14 de de mayo
El sábado 14 de mayo del  2016, carteros de Escambia y Santa Rosa volverán a unir fuerzas para ayudar a erradicar el hambre en nuestra comunidad. En su 24º año, la colecta anual de alimentos se ha convertido en el mayor esfuerzo nacional de un solo día en que beneficia a millones de estadounidenses que luchan para poner comida en la mesa.
     A los residentes se les anima a dejar una bolsa resistente de alimentos no perecederos, tales como sopas enlatadas, frutas, verduras o carne, pasta seca, arroz, frijoles y cereales junto a su buzón de correo antes de su entrega de correo regular el sábado 14 de mayo. los carteros de Escambia y Santa Rosa recogerán donaciones de alimentos durante cinco organizaciones locales, incluyendo: ACTS Ministry of Holley Assembly of God en Gulf Breeze, We Care Ministries of Navarre United Methodist Church en Navarre, Feeding The Gulf Coast (formerly Bay Area Food Bank) en Pace and Milton, Warrington Emergency Aid Center y Manna Food Pantries. El año pasado, las organizaciones recibieron un total de 186,804 libras de alimentos de la comunidad durante la colecta de alimentos.
     A pesar generoso apoyo, la necesidad sigue siendo grande en nuestra comunidad. El año pasado, Manna Food Pantries ayudó a un total de 20.303 personas a través de todos sus despensas y programas en los condados de Escambia y Santa Rosa . De ellos, el 34 por ciento eran niños.

 

 Escambia and Santa Rosa Food Drive : Saturday, May 14
On Saturday, May 14, 2016, Escambia and Santa Rosa Letter Carriers will once again join forces to help Stamp Out Hunger in our community. In its 24th year, the annual food drive has grown to be the largest national single-day effort that benefits millions of Americans who struggle to put food on the table.
     Residents are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag of non-perishable foods, such as canned soups, fruits, vegetables, or meat, dried pasta, rice, beans and cereal next to their mailbox prior to their regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 14. Escambia and Santa Rosa letter carriers will collect food donations for five local organizations including: ACTS Ministry of Holley Assembly of God in Gulf Breeze, We Care Ministries of Navarre United Methodist Church in Navarre, Feeding The Gulf Coast (formerly Bay Area Food Bank) in Pace and Milton, Warrington Emergency Aid Center and Manna Food Pantries. Last year, their organizations received a total of 186,804 pounds of food from the community during the food drive.
     Despite generous support, the need is still great in our community. Last year, Manna Food Pantries helped a total of 20,303 individuals through all of their pantries and programs in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Of those, 34 percent were children.
