(AUDIO) Food For People on KSLG

In an interview this week with KSLG’s Dale Cooper, Food For People’s David Reed estimated that the beloved Humboldt County nonprofit now provides food to around 21,000 locals, constituting roughly 15 percent of Humboldt County’s population. Needless to say, it’s a rough time out there for a lot of people, so your food donations are very appreciated. 

And hey, Food For People is going to make donating food extra easy for you this week. Recently, there are good odds that you got a blue plastic baggie in your mail. That’s because it’s again time for the annual National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive, one of the largest campaigns of its type in the country. If you’re able, fill that bag with non-perishable food items and leave it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10. Then, your very capable letter carrier will pick it up and take its contents to one of Food For People’s local food pantries. It’s that easy!
