Help Stamp Out Hunger

The Rabun County post offices and the PEARLs Jr. Woman's Club of Rabun are partnering to conduct the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 9. This is a national effort to combat hunger. Please leave non-perishable food items in your mailbox or deliver to your local post office. The route drivers will collect the donated food and leave at their post offices. The Jr. Woman's Club members will then pick up the food from the post offices and deliver to Community Partnership of Rabun for distribution.
