DURAND, IL — It’s a rare occurrence, about once every 100 years when the ZIP Code™ matches the date. That is the case Monday, when the date of 6/10/24 aligns with the Durand ZIP Code™ of 61024.

Monique Benjamin-Routen, Postmaster said, “Monday, June 10 will be the historic day that Date Meets Zip for 61024.” 

The Durand Post Office is located at 211 N. Center Street, 61024.

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.
