The National Association of Letter Carriers is planning its first Food Drive after being on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Letter Carrier’s Food Drive is set for Saturday, May 14, 2022.
Those who want to support this national effort to Stamp Out Hunger can donate nonperishable food items by leaving them in a bag next to their mailbox on May 14th so their letter carriers can pick them up.
No special bags are needed for donations, and some of the top-requested food items to donate are cereal, pasta, canned goods, peanut butter, and 100% juice. Healthy, low-sodium, or low-sugar items are needed as well along with canola and olive oils.
The Letter Carriers Food Drive has been running for 30 years and reaches 1,500 post offices in all 50 states. Local donations will benefit the Blue Water Community Food Depot.
