STAMP OUT HUNGER - THANK YOU!

We'd like to give a HUGE thank you to the incredible letter carriers from Avon and Avon Lake and to every generous donor who supported this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive! Because of your kindness and hard work, 2,782 pounds of food was delivered by the letter carriers, to the CRS Food Pantry! Your support helps us keep our shelves stocked and ensures that local families in need have access to nutritious food.

We are so grateful for this amazing community! Thank you for making a difference!
