USPS "stamping out hunger" with food drive

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - The United States Postal Service is doing what it can to help stamp out hunger.

Instead of just delivering the mail, letter carriers collected bags of food from people's homes on Saturday. The bags were then delivered to the Bay Area Food Bank.

Volunteers setup a barbecue meal for the mail carriers to take a break. They will continue collecting food, door-to-door until later tonight.

Target and the United Way also joined volunteer efforts to collect more than 200,000 pounds of food.
