Helping our Community

Goin' Postal Royal Oak has now partnered with the South Oakland Shelter (SOS) to be an OFFICIAL drop off location for non-perishable food items.  SOS has been operating locally for over 25 years to provide emergency and temporary housing with the end goal of reducing homelessness, specifically in metro Detroit.  In addition to operating a rotating shelter, they also offer housing assistance, a food pantry, job search assistance, health services, case management and more.  All foods collected at our store will go directly to individuals who are entering independent housing upon leaving emergency/transitional shelter.  

And to thank our customers, for every three food items donated, they will receive a coupon for 10% off their next FedEx shipment. We're at 30270 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak, 48073. Thank you for helping us to help our community.
