<v Speaker 1>dot com. Excited to have a guest today from the USPS.

7
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>We have Eric and we're going to talk about snamp

8
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 1>out Hunger. And this is a food drive that you

9
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>guys do through the United States Postal Service. And it's

10
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>sneaking right up on us, isn't it, Eric, It is.

11
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>It's coming up very quickly. Saturday, May tenths. It's always

12
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>the second Saturday in May, and this year falls on

13
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the tenth of.

14
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>May, so May tenth is the day now if people

15
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>would like to participate. You make it really easy to

16
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>stamp out hunger. All we have to do is get

17
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the food and get it ready, and then when you're

18
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>out doing your rounds, you guys pick it all up,

19
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>don't you.

20
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so you'll probably be seeing a postcard and a

21
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.439
<v Speaker 2>bag the week leading up to the tents and you

22
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 2>can take that bag, and however, and many other bags

23
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you have laying around your house filled them up with

24
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>non perishable grocery items and put those next to wherever

25
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.079
<v Speaker 2>you pick up your mail, whether that's the box by

26
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>the street, the box on your house, the apartment lobby,

27
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>or your centralized box unit. Wherever you pick up your mail,

28
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>set out that non perishable, those food items, and we'll

29
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>pick them up right around Saturday the tenth.

30
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Nice, let's talk about the dos and don'ts of stamp

31
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>out hunger, because there are some things that we want

32
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.879
<v Speaker 1>people to leave, but there's probably some things we don't

33
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>necessarily want left out too, don't we Right.

34
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>So we obviously we want non perishable items. We want

35
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 2>we don't want anything that would require any refrigeration. Also,

36
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.439
<v Speaker 2>we want to steer away from glass containers because we

37
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>have to pick up a lot of food and you know,

38
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>we don't want we want a few accidents as we

39
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 2>can with glass, but otherwise you're basically just putting out

40
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>whatever you would pick up for yourself. But we want

41
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to focus also on kind of high protein items high

42
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, meals in boxes, canned meats and proteins and stews, cereal. Also,

43
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>peanut butter is a high demand item because there's a

44
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of kids at home during the summer. You know,

45
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>without the benefit of the school lunch program, that that

46
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>would have nine months out of the year. So we

47
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>want to think about what kids would need when they're home,

48
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're not in school.

49
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And if you're doing a jar of peanut butter, make

50
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>sure it's a plastic jar, not a glass jar. And

51
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>then exactly and again, cans of things are great. Boxes

52
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of things are great, but don't put a gallon of

53
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>milk in there, because that's not gonna that's not gonna

54
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>stay very well, very long. Well yeah, but again it's

55
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the time, I think people can probably

56
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>figure out what what makes sense and what doesn't make sense.

57
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>And the reason we're having this chat so early because

58
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>again it's coming up on May tenth, it's a while

59
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>from now, but I thought, if we if we visit

60
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>with you this early, you know, there's probably a few

61
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>people going to be hitting the grocery store between now

62
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and then, and if you see some items on sale

63
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>and you go, hey, I'm going to grab a few

64
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>of those for me and a few of those for

65
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>stamp out hunger, this would be a really nice way

66
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 1>to prepare rather than finding out, you know, the day

67
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>before the event and then you're just you know, digging

68
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 1>through your cupboard trying to find things. We're giving you

69
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>some time to plan for it and again stamp out hunger.

70
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>This happens all over the nation on the same day, right.

71
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a nationwide drive. A lot of the

72
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>communities in South Dakota, throughout South Dkota are also participating.

73
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Suit Balls has been a part of this from the

74
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>beginning and it's close to this has been going on

75
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>close to thirty years now.

76
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I love that. And we have folks that listen online

77
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>from all over the place, so they probably do it

78
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>in your neighborhood. But be watching your mailbox for that

79
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>postcard because if you see that postcard, for sure, do it.

80
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>If you don't see it, you might just have cans

81
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>of stuff sitting next to your mailbox for a while.

82
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>That would be kind of weird.

83
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's okay. But if we see that food

84
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>out there, we'll pick it up and get it where

85
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it needs to go. And keep in mind that all

86
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>donations stay local. So wherever you're hearing this message, if

87
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 2>you have if you're participating in the food drive, whether

88
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>it's suit Balls or Brookings or you know other smaller

89
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>community throughout South Dakota. That food will stay at your

90
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 2>nearest local food pantry to help those people in your neighborhood.

91
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.439
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Thank you for doing what you do.

92
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I've got several family members who currently

93
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>work or have worked in the postal system, so I

94
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 1>appreciate even maybe more than the regular person, what you

95
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>guys do. And again, this is one of those things

96
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>every year that I think is an amazing thing. Stamp

97
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>out Hunger. It's coming up on the tenth of May,
