BURBANK -- For the past 10 years, the United States Postal letter
carriers of Burbank have collected food donations on their routes, and
delivered it to the Burbank Temporary Aid Center.
On Saturday, Burbank residents are once again asked to donate
nonperishable foods for collection by the letter carriers. The donations
should be left outside mailboxes.
"What a wonderful sight to see U.S. Postal trucks line up in front of
the Burbank Temporary Aid Center on Burbank Boulevard and unload their
collection of food donation," BTAC Executive Director Pat Smola said. "It
truly says a lot about the caring hearts of the citizens of Burbank."
The food received Saturday will last nearly a year," Pantry Manager
Edward Stapleton said.
BTAC is a nonprofit organization that began in 1974 to help people in
need with temporary assistance, including food and other services.
