*By Daily Press staff*

Residents of Santa Monica and surrounding westside communities will be receiving notes in their mailboxes on May 11 about a food drive by mail carriers.

The notes will detail instructions on how people can leave food for carriers to pick up along their routes for the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive.

Food collected will be donated to the Westside Food Bank, which provides more than 3 million pounds of food annually to 65 social service agencies on L.A.’s westside.
