about us
Welcome to the Sun Post!

The Sun Post was started on November 11, 2005, as a weekly newspaper delivered free to more than 20,000 homes in Lathrop and Manteca.
Now it’s a Web site, too, and it continues its efforts to cover the news and connect the entire community. Sun Post reporters, editor and sales representatives work out of the downtown Manteca office at 126 W. Yosemite Ave. The paper is delivered every Friday. Here’s more information:
