Huntsville, AL — The U.S. Postal Service recognizes the importance of supporting small businesses, the jobs they help create, and the quality of life they provide in every ZIP Code throughout Alabama and across the nation.

On Thursday, August 11, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., postal officials will host a “Grow Your Business Day” event at the Downtown Huntsville Post Office, 615 Clinton Ave W, Huntsville, AL. Small business owners will have the ability to learn how postal products and services can help grow their business, discover how to bring Post Office convenience to their office, and network with other small business owners in their community.

“For more than two centuries, the U.S. Postal Service has been helping small businesses grow and has been supporting Main Streets everywhere,” said Alabama-Mississippi District Manager June Martindale. “Thursday’s event is designed to address the unique needs of small businesses --- even during these challenging times.”

“Your business is our business when it comes to helping small businesses grow,” said Huntsville, AL, Postmaster Micole Jones. “We offer numerous solutions, such as Every Door Direct Mail®, and new and exciting mailing innovations for advertising.”
