USPS reopened the Temple Heights Post Office in Washington, DC, part of the organization’s ongoing efforts to strength customer service, on Dec. 16.

The office, which closed in March 2024, serves 5,900 residential and business customers and now offers a range of services, including PO Box rentals, mail and package shipping, and postage and packing supplies.

The reopening was attended by Elvin Mercado, the Postal Service’s acting delivery operations vice president, and Judy de Torok, corporate affairs vice president.

Ashley Poling, a member of the Postal Regulatory Commission who lives in the Temple Heights neighborhood, also attended the ceremony and was the reopened office’s first customer, purchasing a pane of holiday stamps.
