Saturday, May 11th marks the 30th anniversary of one of America’s great days of giving – the National Assoc. of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave non-perishable food donations in a bag/box by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11th and your letter carrier will do the rest. Together we can STAMP OUT HUNGER in America.
Each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries for those in need in our area.
The need for food donations is great. Currently, more than 44 million Americans are unsure where their next meal will come from. More than 13 million are children who feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school. Nearly 5.5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many on fixed incomes often too embarrassed to ask for help.
