Letter Carriers Picking Up Canned Food on May 11th
2019 Issue 1
Every year, the National Association of Letters Carriers (NALC) hosts its annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the nation’s largest one-day food drive. Through donations, 71.6 million pounds of non-perishable foods were collected last year.
On Saturday, May 11th, you can help your mail carrier stamp out hunger. All you need to do is to leave a bag of nonperishable food items, such as canned goods or dry pasta, next to your mailbox. Letter carriers will pick them up, sort them, and distribute them to local food banks and hunger-relief organizations.
With your support and the help of the NALC and unions, families across America will receive some relief. If you have any questions, please visit: https://www.nalc.org/community-service/food-drive
