The U.S. Postal Service is bringing good news to those families with their 15th annual 'Stamp Out Hunger' campaign.  Families leave canned soup or cereal out by their mailboxes and Saturday the nation's 230,000 letter carriers will pick up those gifts. When we caught up with Stephen Dillon Saturday, he said the folks on his route are always very generous.

"I got about 15 to 20 tubs -- plus what I'm going to get this afternoon. And I got about 2 more hours left to go," mail carrier Stephen Dillon said.

Stamp Out Hunger is the nation's largest single-day food drive.  It's brought in more than  756 million pounds of food since 1993.
