Jacksonville Postmaster and Postal PCC Co-Chair, Debbie Gornik, invited the Jacksonville business community to extend themselves for the 2014 Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive by serving as a food donation drop site for their employees.  “I thought it would be an excellent idea to provide an alternate site for food donations in addition to leaving food at resident’s mail boxes.  In some cases, it would encourage individuals to donate more food; at work and at home,”  stated Gornik.  “There is such a tremendous need to help fill the void of basic food staples for so many households in our communities.”

Well,  Kessler Creative volunteered for the challenge.  Owners Keith and Dina Kessler made the decision to support giving back to the community by serving as a drop site for their employees’ non-perishable food donations.  A USPS container was provided and the Kessler employee team did an outstanding job filling up the container with 100 lbs. of food.  “We appreciate the support of Kessler Creative and value their participation in this partnership,” said Gornik.
