Norbert Castro, 13914 Tahiti Road, Food Drive Coordinator for the National Association of Letter Carriers, said on May 15 the people of San Leandro donated more than 12-1/2 tons of non-perishable food items to the needy. He said this was a program established by the U. S. Postal Service. He said the letter carriers know what the families on their routes need and, since they deliver everywhere, they were in the best position to collect donations. He thanked the San Leandro Times for help in advertising the program and local businesses for donations of space for flyers and food bins. He also thanked Mayor Karp, members of Branch 214 of the National Association of Letter Carriers of San Leandro, and all of the volunteers who worked on the program. Mayor Karp said he had spoken to the Post Master about the food drive. He said, being new, the Post Master wasn't aware of the Davis Street Community Center or the Shelter for Women and Children. He said the Postal Carriers bent over backwards to collect 12-1/2 tons of food. He congratulated everyone involved.
