Food drive

Letter carriers in Tracy on Saturday will join others nationwide and collect non-perishable food so Tracy Interfaith Ministries can feed people who are hungry.

Organizers hope people will put items such as cans of soup or vegetables, peanut butter and jelly, canned meats, fruits and fruit juices in a grocery bag placed by your mailbox so letter carriers can pick it up.

Food can also be dropped off at the Post Office on Ninth Street, or at Tracy Interfaith Ministries at 2441 Holly Drive.
