Wellsburg letter carriers collect food items for local Salvation Army

WELLSBURG — “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.”

That was never more true than on Saturday, when postal workers from throughout the region collected food for the needy during what at times was a torrential downpour.

Buoyed by a supportive Wellsburg community, the event is being hailed a success. Even PO Box holders contributed to the cause by donating bags of food.

The generosity of the Wellsburg community, particularly those residing in the 26070 zip code, was remarkable, postal officials said. Together, they donated more than 2,500 pounds of non-perishable food and water supplies to the Wellsburg Salvation Army.

These donations will be promptly sorted and distributed to fulfill the immediate needs of the local community.

The National Association of Letter Carriers offered its gratitude for the community’s support and said it is honored to serve the residents of Wellsburg.

Starting at $2.99/week.
