The National Association of Letter Carriers will hold its annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 9.

Now in its 34th year, the nationwide one-day food drive helps stock local food pantries at a time when many supplies are running low heading into summer.

Residents can participate by placing a bag of non-perishable food donations by their mailbox on Saturday, May 9. Letter carriers will collect the donations during their regular routes, and the food will go directly to local pantries helping families in need.

Organizers say more than 47 million Americans face food insecurity, including millions of children and seniors. Since the food drive began, letter carriers have helped collect more than 1.94 billion pounds of food nationwide.

Customers are encouraged to check with their letter carrier or local post office to confirm participation in their area.
