USPS Helps Community Businesses in Georgia

GEORGIA — Postal customers aren’t just limited to individuals mailing letters or cards, many are small, local business owners. The Postal Service recognizes the importance of supporting small businesses, the jobs they help create, and the quality of life that they provide in every ZIP Code across the nation.

The week of April 30 – May 6, is National Small Business Week and to celebrate, postal employees throughout Georgia are hosting “Grow Your Business Days” in lobbies large and small in as many ZIP codes as possible to help locally owned businesses grow and thrive. Events are happening not only during the official recognition week, but throughout the month of May. A full list of participating Post Office locations and dates are below.

The free, community-based events are intended to educate small business owners and entrepreneurs on the wide variety of postal resources available to help them grow their business. Services include the Informed Delivery tool and many shipping options and can be found at a Post Office location or online at usps.com/.

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.
