May 10 is the nation's largest single-day food drive with
our friends at the National Association of Letter Carriers.

Letter carriers, with help from their sisters and brothers in the other postal crafts
and thousands of other volunteers, will stage a blitz on Saturday, May 10, to combat
hunger in America, conducting NALC’s annual “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive in every
U.S. state and jurisdiction.

The drive, in its 16th year, is the largest one-day food collection in the nation
and the biggest community service effort by any union affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

On the day before Mother’s Day this year, letter carriers will focus their efforts on
restocking the community food banks, pantries and shelters that millions of American
families will rely on throughout the summer.

To participate, leave food donations by your mailboxes on Saturday, May 10th.

Your letter carrier will pick them up and bring them to your local food pantry!
