Leave your unopened non-perishable items next to your mailbox before letter carriers deliver the mail.
Today is the 21st Annual National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. St. Louisans are asked to place cans of unopened, non-perishable items next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers the mail this Saturday, May 11. Letter carriers will collect the food donations as they deliver the mail along their routes.

There has been discussion of dropping one day of mail delivery as the Postal Service struggles to cope with declining revenue from the services it provides. Email has all but replaced regular letter writing, leading fewer people to buy postage stamps, which always seem to inch up in price. There has even been talk locally of closing post offices such as the one in Maplewood. Missouri U.S. Sens. Roy Blunt and Claire McCaskill have sponsored …

They visited a Richmond Heights post office Monday to mail their federal paperwork, according to the report.
Last week's federal tax-filing deadline drew numerous St. Louisans to a post office in Richmond Heights, National Public Radio reported. Quoting from the NPR report via Minnesota Public Radio: "The number of people who still file by mail has gone way down, especially after the Internal Revenue Service stopped mailing out paper forms last year. But there are still a few million people who file their returns the old-fashioned way." Hear from a Richmond Heights investment adviser and others about why they decided to file their taxes by mail in the complete NPR report.
