Mobile post offices deployed to flooded towns

ST EDWARD, OSMOND, VERDIGRE NE (Omaha World-Herald News Source) – The U.S. Postal Service has set up mobile post offices in St. Edward, Osmond and Verdigre, Nebraska, and more are on the way.

The mobile offices provide all of the same retail services a bricks-and-mortar post office can. In addition, they will provide post office box service for those who were receiving their mail at a box at one of the post offices affected by flooding.

“One sign that life is returning to normal is the resumption of mail service,” said Dawn Bayer of the Postal Service. “Using a mobile post office allows us to quickly restore services to our customers who have suffered devastating losses.”

The St. Edward Mobile Post Office will open Wednesday at 1302 State Highway 39 and be staffed weekdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. St. Edward customers who cannot collect mail from the mobile unit can pick it up at the Albion Post Office.

The Osmond Mobile Post Office opened Tuesday at 409 N. State St., with staffing on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. Osmond customers can also use the Plainview Post Office.

The Verdigre Mobile Post Office opened Tuesday at 106 Third Ave. and is staffed weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30 to 2 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to noon. Verdigre customers can also use the Creighton Post Office.
