Ansonia postal workers drop off food donations at Salvation Army

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." 
That's considered the unofficial motto of United States Postal Service employees.

Saturday was the National Association of Letter Carriers' 26th annual Food Drive. The goal is to "Stamp Out Hunger" throughout the United States. 

I was reminded of the unofficial motto because it was raining when Ansonia's mail carriers brought donations to Salvation Army Greater Valley headquarters, 26 Lester St., Ansonia, for the organization's food pantry.

They unloaded many bags of non-perishables - pasta, rice, tuna, peanut butter, cereals, soups, vegetables, and more.
