This year’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the nation’s largest single-day food collection, is scheduled for Saturday, May 10.
USPS customers are being asked to leave a bag filled with healthful, nonperishable food items next to their mailboxes to be collected by Postal Service employees, who will distribute the donations to local food banks and pantries.
The drive is timed for the second Saturday in May to shore up food charities for the summer.
The National Association of Letter Carriers spearheads the drive, with assistance from USPS, the United Way, other unions and several businesses.
Additional information can be found on the association’s website. This includes a toolkit for participants, promotional materials, community engagement guidelines and ways to contribute online.
