Stamping out hunger

17 years ago

On Saturday, May 10, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will do their part to “Stamp Out Hunger” across America. Now in its 16th year, the Stamp Out Hunger effort is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, having collected more than 836 million pounds of food since its inception in 1993.
    On May 10, the nation’s 230,000 Postal Service letter carriers will collect donations from homes across the country and deliver them to food bank members of America’s Second Harvest – The Nation’s Food Bank Network and other hunger relief organizations in more than 10,000 local communities. Participating is easy. Just leave non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, or cereal in a sturdy bag next to your mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 10.
