Story

The annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive in Macomb County collected over 126,000 pounds of food. Local postal workers and volunteers gathered non-perishable items for the 32nd annual event. The food is sorted and boxed at the Community Food Bank of Macomb County in Clinton Township. Alec Williams noted a significant increase in food demand in recent years. Volunteers help with sorting and boxing, and the food is distributed to 50-60 pantries in the county. The drive is strategically timed before school ends to address the increased need for food when children are home during the summer break.
