To the Editor:

On behalf of Newtown Social Services and the Salvation Army Food Pantry, we would like to thank all the volunteers that donated their time to organizing and manning the annual Postal Workers' Food Drive this past Saturday. In addition to those who volunteered to be drivers and sorters, we were for-tunate this year to have help from the staff of Big Y Supermarket as well as the Newtown High School Football Team which helped the process move quickly and efficiently. A special thanks to the postal workers who took the time to collect food while out on their busy delivery routes.

Thanks to the generosity of the residents of Newtown, our food pantry is once again well stocked and we will be able to serve our clients in need with a well balanced assortment of food. Once again our heartfelt thanks to all who participated.
