The National Association of Letter Carriers is partnering up with Second Harvest Community Food Bank once again for the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, this Saturday.
This Saturday, May 9th, residents can leave donations of non-perishable food items in a bag near their mailbox for collection. Organizers are asking for non-perishable items, such as canned goods, pasta and boxed meals. All that needs to be done is to place them in a bag and leave them by the mailbox for pickup. Collection bags will begin appearing in mailboxes starting today.
All donations collected will go directly to local Second Harvest programs, so everything donated stays in each community. Donations from St. Joseph will support St. Joseph pantries, and contributions from Savannah will go to pantries in Savannah.
During last year's drive, more than 23,000 pounds of food to support local pantries across the region was collected. Since the drive began, it has collected more than 1.8 billion pounds of food.
