Post Office Food Drive on Saturday

Be sure to leave your donations by your mailbox.

 

Once again, the United States Postal Service employees in Medfield are working to help those in our community who rely on the Medfield Food Cupboard to feed their families. 

On Saturday, May 11, postal drivers will collect any bags of food left next to, or hanging from the flags of, mailboxes on their routes, and then deliver them to the Medfield Food Cupboard.
