Statewide: Stamp Out Hunger with NALC

Join the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) on May 9 for the 2026 Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive! 

Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of nonperishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993, the NALC’s annual program has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.

Simply leave your donation of nonperishable food in a bag near your mailbox on the second Saturday in May, and your letter carrier will do the rest.
