On Saturday, May 11, 2013, the National Association of Letter Carriers will do their part to Stamp Out Hunger across America. Now in its 21st year, the Stamp Out Hunger effort is the nation's largest single-day food drive collecting more than one billion pounds of food since its inception in 1993. In 2012, Americans donated more than 70 million pounds of food, which marked the ninth consecutive year at least 70 million pounds were collected.
The Stamp Out Hunger food drive provides food to local food banks and pantries that rely on donations. With more than 50 million Americans living at risk of hunger, food banks across the country continue to experience record demand for emergency food assistance.
Donate items, such as canned meats, fish, soup, bottled juice, vegetables, pasta, cereal and rice that do not require refrigeration. Please do not include expired items or glass containers.
