U.S. Postal Service letter carriers and local communities conducting food drive Saturday

The National Association of Letter Carriers will conduct its 32nd annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday. Stamp Out Hunger is the nation’s largest single-day food drive. 

Customers should leave their non-perishable food donations in a bag near their mailbox on Saturday before a letter carrier arrives. In the days leading up to the food drive, letter carriers will be delivering special bags along with mail deliveries that may be used to make donations. Food collected during Saturday’s drive will be delivered to local community churches, food banks and food pantries for distribution.

While all non-perishable donations are welcome, foods that are high in protein such as canned tuna, salmon, beans and peanut butter are most needed. Canned fruits and vegetables, whole grain, low sugar cereals, macaroni and cheese dinners, and 100% fruit juice also top the list of most-needed items.
