"Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive 2009


As a part of this year's annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, area residents left nonperishable food items by their mailboxes to be picked up by their mail carrier in a mass effort to benefit the needy. "We'd like to thank all the citizens of Martinsville and Henry County for their generosity and all the postal employees for their cooperation in making this event a huge success," said Nancy Nelson, Executive Director of Community Storehouse.

Thousands of pounds of food were collected through the drive. "Although that's a lot of food, it will only last a short time. The need in our community is great & continued support of our efforts is essential," Nelson added.

If you'd like to benefit the Community Storehouse through a drive or donation, visit http://www.communitystorehouseofmhc.org/ for more information, or call (276) 632-9002.
