Moving Supplies at the Post Office

With the postal service needing improvements, new ideas are already taking affect. This one postal service is adding U-Haul rentals at their facility. This may catch on near you!!

Scholarship Time!

"Treat others the way you want to be treated"

"Treat others the way you want to be treated", the same golden rule we have been hearing time and time again. When times are tough people are still stepping up to help others. Postal workers in Louisville are stepping up and delivering medicine in emergencies.
