Record-breaking volume of food donated in mailboxes

Dear Editor,

On May 14 the generous Woodstock community donated a record breaking volume of food to the Stamp Out Hunger campaign, both by leaving bags at their mailboxes and bringing items to the main post office.

I am proud of the entire staff of the Woodstock post office for their genuine excitement and participation in gathering and transporting the many pounds of generous donations. I would like to thank the community for participating in this much needed event. It is a testament to the nature of this giving community that we were able to be so successful. I am looking to beat our record next year!

Postmaster Dori Trudeau, Woodstock
