Club members fold 1,000 bags for postal carriers
At the Westfield Lions Club’s March 21 meeting, the members spent time folding 1,000 plastic bags that will part of the upcoming “USPS Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive” event that benefits the Open Doors Food Pantry.
Over the past few weeks, Open Doors has been utilizing people in the community, along with the Westfield Lions Club, to fold approximately 60,000 plastic bags that will be delivered to homes by postal carriers around the Westfield/Carmel area.
A post card will be attached to the bags that explains what the event is all about and encourages the public to put non-perishable food donations in the bags and leave them at their mailboxes for the postal carriers to pick up. The collection date for the food bags will be May 11.
