STAMP OUT HUNGER
NALC FOOD DRIVE

The US Postal Service and the National Associaton of Letter Carriers (NALC) will deliver for America in conducting the nation's largest single-day food drive on Saturday, May 11.

Together, we are continuing to make a difference in the lives of millions of Americans in need.  The Postal Service is proud to play a major role with our carriers, corporate partners and local community organizations to help stamp out hunger. 

The Stamp Out Hunger food drive is a nationwide effort that provides food to local food banks and pantries that rely heavily on donations.  With more than 50 million Americans living at rick of hunger, food banks across the country continue to experience record demand for emergency food assistance.

Now in its 21st year, the Stamp Out Hunger food drive has collected more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2012, more than 70 million pounds of food was collected. 

Helping Stamp Out Hunger is as easy as checking your mailbox. Just leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11.  Your letter carrier will pick up and deliver the food to a local food bank. Examples of non-perishable items include: peanut butter, canned soup, canned meats and fish, canned vegetables, fruits and juices, boxed goods such as cereal, pasta and rice.
