Paper or plastic? An Oklahoma food bank hopes you will choose the latter.

Metro-area letter carriers are delivering plastic bags this week and urging residents to fill them with canned goods.

Carriers in Ardmore, Chickasha, Cordell, Elk City, Lawton, Pauls Valley, Sayre and Weatherford also are delivering bags for the sixth annual Feeding Hope and Letter Carriers Food Drive for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. In 2007, carriers collected $275,000 and 406,281 pounds of food, for 2.2 million meals.

How to help
Leave the bag of canned goods by your mailbox by 8 a.m. Saturday.

For more information
Call the food bank at 972-1111 or go online to www.regionalfoodbank.org.

I can barely afford to feed myself, and I am only one person...but I will be putting out a couple bags of beans and rice, along with a few cans of fruit. And Renee, please lighten up a bit, there's enough adversity in the world already.

Erin, if you can't feed yourself, don't help. there are still plenty of folks that can help. don't be so negative.
