“It gives me a sense of pride to serve this small yet mighty community,” Holland said. “To me, being Postmaster means making sure all my employees are safe while providing the most efficient and reliable service to our customers.

As Postmaster, Holland oversees over 2,500 pieces of mail delivered daily while also servicing over 400 Post Office Box deliveries. She manages three people and two rural postal routes with a population of over 800.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
