Postal Food Drive

Saturday, May 10th marks the 22nd anniversary of one of America’s great day of giving – the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many, hunger.
So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from our customers.  These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Fort Smith who need our help.

Our food drive’s timing is crucial.  Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season.  By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple.  Just leave a non- perishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10th and your letter carrier will do the rest.  Join in America’s great day of giving and help us in our fight to end hunger.
