The White Oak Post Office, and the McKeesport Agape Center, also located in the borough, have moved, and those running the organizations hope to up and running in a matter of days.
Doyle Mails It-White Oak Post Office and the McKeesport Agape nonprofit have moved to 1540 Lincoln Way. The building, which formerly served as the regional office for the state’s 35th Legislative District, is located at the intersection of Lincoln Way and Meyers Lane.
Post office
Doyle Mails It, which was formerly located at 1133 Lincoln Way, is a USPS Contract Postal Unit that comes complete with a large, square blue sign bearing the USPS logo on the side of the building facing Meyers Lane.
Kelly Doyle, who owns Doyle Mails It with her husband Mike, wants borough residents to know Doyle Mails It is a real U.S. Post Office.
The family-owned business is contracted through the federal government.
No up-charges are added for postage or stamps. The store sells stamps and can handle transactions and shipping of regular, Express and Priority mail, all at the same price as a traditional post office. Patrons can send a certified or registered letter or complete a change of address form at the post office.
Packages from eBay and Amazon are also accepted at the location.
The family hopes to have the post office fully operational by Saturday, but Kelly plans to be in the office Thursday selling stamps.

The MAC
The building is also the new home of the McKeesport Agape Center, which is also known as “MAC” or “The MAC.”
Kelly said that “agape,” in a religious context, is defined as: “To love like God.”
With that spirit in mind, Kelly and Mike, with help from friends, family, neighbors, local business owners and others, created The MAC, which delivers packages of food — similar to those one would receive at a food bank or drive-up food distribution — to people and families who are in need and are without transportation, or are homebound for medical reasons.
“What I would really like to tell people is that the people who need food most do not have access to traditional food banks,” Kelly Said. “People who do not own cars, people who are sick and do not like to go out to grocery stores don’t have access.”
