On Saturday, May 8, 2010, the National Association of Letter Carriers will do their part to Stamp Out Hunger! across America. Now in its 18th year, the Stamp Out Hunger! effort is the nation's largest single-day food drive. In 2010, drive organizers hope to exceed last years record-setting total of 73.4 million pounds of donated food, as well as surpass one billion pounds of food collected over the history of the drive.
To help Stamp Out Hunger! this year, simply leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal next to your mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday, May 8. Food items should be in non-breakable containers, such as boxes and cans. The nations 230,000 letter carriers will then collect the donations as they deliver the mail and take them to food banks and other hunger relief organizations in more than 10,000 local communities.
