Donated food will stay in area where its collected
It's billed as the biggest one-day food drive in the country. On Saturday, the US Postal Service, nationwide, will do a food drive for the needy.
Maureen Marion, with the Postal Service in Central New York, says letter carriers will pick up non-perishable foods (no glass containers, please) as they do their regular Saturday mail deliveries. If you don't have a mailbox, you can leave your donation near where your mail is dropped off. Or, you can take your donation to a post office.
The foods collected stay in the specific geographic area where they're donated: the Interreligious Food Consortium will handle donated foods in Syracuse through its pantry system, and specific towns and villages have their own distribution systems set up. There's a website for more information.
