CLAYPOOL — The Post Office in Claypool has been temporarily closed to address building and safety concerns, according to a statement issued Wednesday.

As a result, postal services have been shifted to the Warsaw Post Office on Market Street.

Rural route mail delivery will continue but items that can’t be delivered will be redirected to the Warsaw post office, according to a statement from Michelle Isabell, manager of Post Office operations.

The statement further adds they are working diligently to restore services to the Claypool facility.

No details about what is wrong with the building were provided.

It was a result of local efforts at the Warsaw Post Office as part of The National Association of Letter Carriers' 25th Annual "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive on Saturday May 13.

United Way Director Darren Bickel reacted positively to the total amount collected.

"We appreciate how the Warsaw area responded to the appeal  of our Letter Carriers to collect food for these two pantries that serve hundreds of families each month in supplementing their food budgets," says Bickel.  "We encourage the community to Give, Advocate and Volunteer.  This event was a wonderful expression of that ideal."

This year's collection is the 6th largest total ever collected.  A little over 7 tons was collected in May 2014.
