The Community Services of Starke County Food Pantry is still weighing and sorting the food donated by the Knox and North Judson communities following the Stamp Out Hunger campaign organized by the Campbell Soup Company and the National Association of Letter Carriers. On May 11, Americans were asked to put nonperishable food items in a bag near their mailbox to allow letter carriers to pick them up and donate the items to local food pantries across the nation, stocking the shelves of food pantries in America just in time for summer.
USPS Undergoes Some Pricing Changes
A number of changes have been made to the pricing for First-Class single-piece letters and domestic flat rate shipping products through the United States Postal Service.
Mary Dando, head of corporate communications for the Greater Indiana District of the USPS, explained that most First-Class stamps are now Forever stamps, and those that have already been purchased will still be good even after the change in pricing takes effect Jan. 27. Also beginning early next year, the Postal Service will offer a First-Class Mail Global Forever Stamp, which Dando explained will allow customers to mail letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10.
