ALMENA, WI — Due to a fire that occurred Saturday, December 8, 2018, the U.S. Postal Service has made the decision to immediately emergency suspend the Almena Post Office.

Almena is a leased facility and the landlord has been informed. 

In the interim, Post Office Box delivery and retail services have been relocated to the Barron Post Office located at 437 E La Salle Avenue in Barron, Wisconsin. 

The Barron Post Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  Almena customers may retrieve their PO Box mail and notice-left items during those times with photo ID.

Temporary Cluster Box Units (CBUs) for Post Office Box delivery will be installed in the Almena Community.  Once a location is determined, we will follow up with further information on the location and picking up keys for customers’ new box.

The Postal Service will do everything possible to continue providing uninterrupted service to the community while emphasizing the safety of our employees and customers as our first priority. At this time, it is unknown when services will resume at the Almena facility.

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