USPS teamed up with Campbell's Soup? Knock me over with a feather.

This may well be true, but no one picked up the box of canned and dried food
I set out that the letter carriers were supposed to pick up. And what about
those neighborhoods where they still carry mail bags door-to-door? How are
they supposed to haul around donated food? It doesn't make sense. I'd
rather give to a central pickup location if I cannot give to the food bank
directly.
