According to Reza, 150 volunteers showed up across the 10 locations. This food drive is the Nation’s largest single-day food collection of the year. Canned goods, condiments, pasta and cereal were among some of the items collected.

The food drive is led by the National Association of Letter Carriers, postal workers all over the country collect food that people bagged and set near their mailboxes.

One volunteer said her favorite thing about volunteering is seeing the smile on somebody's face when they get blessed with something.
