![Help stamp out hunger Residents in Rockville Centre are being asked to help feed the needy by participating in a food drive this Saturday — May 14 — by leaving non-perishable food items such as canned goods, pasta, rice and juice next to their mailboxes. Baby items and pet food are also welcome. Rockville Centre letter carriers will do the rest, picking up the donations that will help stock local food banks as they deliver the mail. The need has never been greater. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent statistics, the number of Americans living in a “food-insecure” home surpassed 50 million in 2009. More alarming is that approximately one-third of those at risk of hunger are children (17.2 million). The local drive will help more than 285,000 Long Islanders, including 110,000 children. This is the 19th year that letter carriers in the village have participated in the national one-day food drive designed to fill food bank pantries through the summer, when levels are traditionally at their lowest. “[Please] help make this drive a success and help feed the needy in this area,” said letter carrier Richard Catapano Sr., the local food drive coordinator. “It may mean a heavier satchel and maybe a few sore muscles for us, but the burden will be eased by knowing that our efforts will help feed families in need.” The drive is being coordinated by the National Association of Letter Carriers, the United States Postal Service, Island Harvest, Loång Island Cares Regional Food Bank, the United Way and the Long Island Federation of Labor.](https://gamma.creativecirclecdn.com/liherald/original/1305132095_ac19.jpg)
