Since 1993, the Letter Carriers\u2019 Stamp Out Hunger\u00ae Food Drive has been the U.S.\u2019s largest 1-day drive, held annually on the 2nd Saturday in May! Help us make this year another success for our neighbors in need.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers, who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive \u2014 the largest one-day food drive in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO), with help from rural letter carriers, other postal employees and other volunteers, the drive has delivered more than 1.82 billion pounds of food the past 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carriers will collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in post offices and deliver them to the Josephine County Food Bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To donate, just place a box or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail on the second Saturday in May. The carrier will do the rest. The food is sorted, and delivered to the Josephine County Food Bank, where it is available for needy families. If you are unable to donate pantry items, financial donations are more than appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
