Dear Silver City Community and USPS,

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the remarkable success of the recent Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Your collective efforts have impacted our community, and I am profoundly grateful for your commitment to the cause.

I am pleased to share that around 500 pounds of food were received for our food pantry and soup kitchen at the Silver City Gospel Mission. This generous contribution has filled our shelves and my heart with immense gratitude.

Every item donated will serve as a beacon of hope for those who visit us in need. These provisions will nourish and comfort countless individuals and families in our community. The food you've donated will warm homes and hearts, alleviate worries, and bring smiles to faces in dire need of cheer.

The United States Postal Service's role in this initiative was invaluable. Your involvement ensured a seamless collection and delivery of the donations, proving once again that USPS is an essential service and a cornerstone of our community. Your dedication to the community goes beyond delivering mail; I salute you for this.
