Planning has already started for this year’s “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive May 10.
This year’s theme, “Building on a Billion,” celebrates the 1.3 million pounds the national food drive has collected since it began. Last year, carriers collected 74 million pounds of food.

The Postal Service is encouraging full support of this effort and urging customers to place a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods next to their mailboxes prior to regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 10.

Feeding America, USPS, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA), and the Campbell Soup Company are among the food drive’s sponsors.
