The following letter was sent to United Way of America President Brian Gallagher:
Dear Brian:
With the tremendous support of United Way of America and local United Ways, we once again had a successful food drive this year - increasing to 70.7 million pounds of donations to help stock our nation's food banks and pantries.
I thank you for your personal support of the drive and the premendous amount of work and dedication by United Way officials such as Bud Biscardo and Judy Parkins and I am sure many, many others. With this kind of support, the NALC was again able to encourage our postal customers to help needy families in their communities.
We are especially appreciative of your request to United Way chief volunteers and executive officers to support the drive.
On behalf of our 300,000 members, and I am sure the millions of needy children and adults who will benefit from the food drive, we are very appreciative of your generosity. Please pass on our thanks to all at United Way who were involved in this effort.
Sincerely,
William H. Young
President
National Association of Letter Carriers
On a local note, Letter Carriers Branch #148 collected 47,000 pounds of food in Akron this year, and during the 15 years since this program began, have collected nearly 1 million pounds for our local food bank. Way to go!
