2 weeks ago This Saturday, May 11th, in over 10,000 cities across America, letter carriers will be collecting non-perishable food items left out, in, or near mailboxes by customers along the route.This is the 21st year of what has come to be known as "Our Country's Largest One-Day Food Drive."
October 16, 2012 Giving your mailbox a good shaking just might save you from headaches this winter. And guess when the "4th Annual Shake Your Mailbox Day in Michigan", is?
November 3, 2011 A couple of weeks ago Gov. Rick Snyder officially proclaimed the third Saturday of October to be "Shake Your Mailbox Day" in Michigan! Maybe you missed it, but it is a great idea to do before the snow hits! The day started in 2008 as the innovative idea of one county frustrated by residents' complaints of damaged mailboxes. In most instances where mailboxes are damaged, the snow plow doesn't actually hit the mailbox, the force of the snow thrown from the roadway is enough to knock down a loose, or poorly supported mailbox. If the mailbox moves when shaken, it might not withstand winters wrath.
