NALC – Stamp out Hunger Food Drive

Saturday, May 10th marks the largest one-day food drive in the nation – the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp out Hunger Food Drive. Letter carriers across the Duluth, Superior, Ashland, Bayfield and Cloquet communities will be collecting food on their route to support our local food banks. Please have your unopened, non-perishable donations by your mailbox by 9am. Volunteers will also be assisting letter carriers throughout the community so your donations may be picked up at a time earlier than your mail carrier typically arrives. If you want to help volunteer in the Twin Ports area, please sign up using the link provided below.

Trivia Night at Warrior Brewing: Fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Are you a pop culture junkie, history buff, science geek, or just love answering answers with confidence? Join us for 6 rounds of gloriously random trivia, each filled with questions pulled from the obscure corners of the internet with raffles donated by local businesses in between each round! The cost is a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the amount of your choice through raffles and/or freewill. Teams of 2–6 encouraged (solo? No problem—we’ll help you team up!) Why are we doing this? Because in July, we’re riding 150 miles over two days in the Scenic Shore Bike Tour to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). LLS is leading the fight to cure blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma. They fund cutting-edge research, support patients and families, and advocate for access to treatment for all. We’re riding for patients, survivors, loved ones…
