Celebrating Our Postal Workers This Peak Season

Peak season is the busiest time of year for postal workers across the country. From November through December, and even into the New Year, processing returns, postal workers are working tirelessly to ensure packages, letters, and holiday greetings reach their destinations on time.

This year, APWU wanted to do something special to recognize the extraordinary effort our postal workers put in during this demanding season. We reached out to the public—the families, businesses, and communities who depend on our services every day—and asked them to share messages of appreciation and support.

The response has been overwhelming. People from all over the country have expressed their thanks for the postal workers who make the holidays happen, delivering everything from time-sensitive packages to heartfelt cards connecting loved ones across the miles.

These messages serve as a reminder of why our work matters and the vital role postal workers play in keeping communities connected, especially during the most wonderful time of the year.

If you’re a postal worker, you can receive a personal message of thanks from a member of the public by simply texting PEAK to 91990 on your cellphone.

It’s a small gesture, but we hope these words of encouragement bring extra cheer and joy during the busiest days of the season.

To all our postal workers: thank you for your dedication, hard work, and the heart you bring to the job every single day. The holidays happen because of you.
