Local letter carriers will collect nonperishable food items Saturday during the 2016 Stamp Out Hunger food drive.

The door-to-door collection will help restock local food banks and food pantries. Letter carriers have placed bags at each home in Ponca City to make it easy for households to participate, and they will pick up the food Saturday for free.
