Letters to the editor

Dear Editor,

It is a great honor to serve Anderson, TX, as your new Postmaster. In my 24 years with the United States Postal Service, I have seen firsthand the role the Postal Service plays connecting neighbors and our community to the nation. Our Post Offices serve as a lifeline for our small businesses to reach customers no matter where they are.

Under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s leadership and Delivering For America, the Postal Service’s 10-year plan, we are maintaining universal six-day mail delivery and expanded seven-day package delivery, stabilizing our workforce, and spurring innovation to meet the needs of our modern customers.

From an incredibly successful 2021 holiday mail and shipping season to our current role delivering COVID-19 tests, the Postal Service continues to provide a vital service for our nation and right here in Anderson.

On behalf of the 650,000 women and men of the United States Postal Service, and specifically the employees of the Anderson Post Office, allow me to thank the community for their continuing support of the Postal Service. Providing reliable mail delivery while strengthening the future of this treasured institution is our commitment to the American public.

Janice M. Hammond

Postmaster

Anderson, TX
