Get your walking shoes ready, and make your plans to take part in the Alabama Employee Health and Fitness Day Walk which will be held at noon Friday, May 18, at the State Capitol. The noncompetitive and free event is designed to encourage walking during the work day as part of a health and fitness routine.

Participants may set their own pace, and all walkers completing a one-mile walk will be eligible to win a door prize. The walk begins at noon on the south lawn of the Capitol at 600 Dexter Ave.

Tomorrow, Saturday, May 12, the United States Postal Service will team up with its letter carriers to conduct the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive across the nation to collect food donations in order to provide assistance to the millions of Americans who are struggling with hunger each and every day.

The nation’s 210,000 letter carriers will collect food donations left at the mailboxes of generous Americans in more than 10,000 communities and deliver them to food banks and other hunger relief organizations.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, having collected more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2011, generous Americans donated 70.2 million pounds of food, which marked the eighth consecutive year that at least 70 million pounds were collected.

Helping Stamp Out Hunger is as easy as checking your mailbox.
