Fact: 1 in 6 Americans today is facing hunger

With shocking statistics like that I hope everyone remembers that this weekend isn't just Mother's Day. Actually the day before is the 20th Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. That's right. On Saturday, May 12 across America residents can expect their regular mailman or mail woman to stop by during their regular delivery to also collect food. These care packages will then be delivered to a variety of local organizations for distribution to families who otherwise might go hungry.
