Mail carriers walk to our houses and put the mail right into our mailboxes. They deliver the mail when it is sunny, rainy, or even when it is snowing! They help us stay connected to our friends and family by bringing us their messages. We can even give them our own letters to take to the post office.
Mail carriers make sure important letters and packages get to the right people. Without them, we could not send birthday cards to grandma or get fun packages in the mail. They work in all kinds of weather to keep us connected.
- Mail carriers in the United States deliver to over 160 million addresses.
- Some mail carriers walk up to 12 miles every single day.
- The postal service has been delivering mail for over 200 years!
