USPS celebrates Date meets ZIP in Banning

What:

The community of Banning will experience an event that occurs only once a century, it’s called Date Meets ZIP. The date of 9-22-20 will match the community’s zip code of 92220.

The possibility of having a Date Meets ZIP is quite rare.  It only comes up every 100 years and for most locations, not at all.

A special pictorial cancellation cachet will be available for sale at the Banning Post Office. Residents and businesses are also invited to bring their own postcards, letters or purchase items from the Banning Post Office and have it stamped with the commemorative postmark to mark the occasion.  The postmark will be available for 30 days after the event.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
