Stamp Out Hunger
National Association of Letter Carriers
The second Saturday in May is the largest one-day food drive in the nation. So it is appropriately named Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day. How is it possible? It occurs in more than 10,000 cities and towns, and the food is collected by those men and women carrying our mail across the country. As they deliver to postal customers, those customers get to do their part by filling their mailbag with non-perishable food donations.
Over the last 27 years, one billion pounds of food has been delivered by this drive which is sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers. The letter carriers representing the NALC receive help from rural letter carriers, other postal employees and other volunteers. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has received a number of accolades over the years, including two Presidential Certificates of Achievement.
