Recently The Herald, along with the postal service, promoted a food pick-up drive, where we were to leave food in a bag provided by the letter carriers that was set by our mailbox on Saturday.
I had left the food at 9 a.m. that day, along with some of my neighbors. By 11 a.m. I had noticed the food was gone, but my mail usually is not delivered until 2-3 p.m.
There was no notice that the food was picked up by the letter carrier.
This got me wondering if some thief had used this drive to “help themselves” to a free meal, and how many others might have been taken advantage of.
Did the letter carriers, in fact, pick up the food or was someone contracted by them?
It would help if notes were left at the houses where items were picked up. This way we would not be wondering.
We are happy to donate, but just want to be sure the donations are getting into the hands of those who are in need.
