"If you think about that one person you see everyday is your letter carrier and we’re so happy that they joined forces here in Muskingum County to do National Letter Carrier Day and to kind of unite the people that are in their homes to us the pantries and the hot meal programs to help us collect food for this years operation feed campaign," said Warden.

Warden said the food raised from this fundraiser is going to provide thousands of food for 16 local food pantries.

"This is a huge deal 16,000 pounds of food that’s a lot of food and if you think about the 15 food pantries, that’s about 1,000 pounds of food going back to every food pantry. Think about the families that’s going to touch so we really want to thank our letter carries for taking this on it adds a lot onto their work load for the day but, we know in their hearts their committed to their community," said Warden.

Warden said the food they will receive from this fundraiser will equal out to 85% of all of the food that will be collected for Operation Feed, this year.
