BRAINERD — The 31st annual U.S. Postal Service letter carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive will take place Saturday, May 13.
Area residents can take part by leaving a bag of non-perishable food at their mailboxes prior to their letter carrier arriving Saturday. The carrier will pick up the food and deliver it to a local food shelf. There are also locations at the Brainerd and Baxter Cub Foods stores and Super One Foods in Baxter where people can drop off food to be donated.
“Many people in this country struggle with hunger every day. Six days a week letter carriers see firsthand the needs in the communities where they work, and they are committed to helping meet those needs,” organizers stated in a news release.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
