The National Association of Letter Carriers wants the public’s help this weekend to help fill food pantry shelves.
The group will conduct its 24th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive on Saturday, May 14, 2016.
To participate, area postal patrons may leave donations of nonperishable food items in a bag near their mailboxes, and carriers will collect the donations at the time of mail delivery that day.
Food collected will benefit local food pantries.
According to the NALC, Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one-day food drive in the United States. In 2015, the effort collected almost 71 million pounds of non-perishable food, which brought the grand total to more than 1.4 billion pounds since the drive began in 1992.
