(Omaha) Letter carriers collect donations for Stamp Out Hunger food drive

Letter carriers picked up more than outgoing mail when going about their rounds Saturday.
They collected nonperishable food items for the National Association of Letter Carriers' annual Stamp Out Hunger drive.
Carriers dropped off plastic mail crates filled with cereal and salad dressing instead of the letters and magazines that they held earlier at the Postal Service's Elmwood Park branch near 51st and Center Streets. Five volunteers slowly filled a U-Haul truck with the donations.
Letter carrier Jim Graeve said the food drive added a little extra time to his route, but he didn't mind the extra work.
