Saturday, May 10, will mark the 33rd anniversary of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Letter carriers are in the communities they serve every day and often come face-to-face with a sad reality for far too many: hunger.
Each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from customers, going directly to local food pantries to provide food to people who need the help.
Food banks and pantries often receive most of their donations during the winter holiday season. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.
Participating is simple. Just leave non-perishable food donations in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10, and your letter carrier will do the rest.
Customers are encouraged to verify food collections with their letter carrier or by entering their delivery ZIP Code here for local NALC Branch coverage in their area. If the search tool does not return any results, please contact your local Post Office or email communityserviceshq@nalc.org.
