We would like to thank the Town of Canton Postal Drivers who participated in the US POSTAL STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE for their hard work and effort gathering donations and delivering to the food pantry on a hot Saturday afternoon.  We would also like to thank the residents of Canton for their generous donations that day. 


THANK YOU to Dunkin Donuts for supplying coffee and donuts for the postal workers.


THANK YOU to all the volunteers (too many to list) who sacrificed their time.  They worked above and beyond and their hard work is very much appreciated.
