Save Your Used Postage Stamps for Children
The Redemptorists collect stamps. Please put your used postage stamps (leave a ½ inch white space on all sides of the stamp) in the red and white box at the Religious Articles counter. It is amazing, but only ONE cancelled stamp can provide food for one day for a Third World child.
