National Association of Letter Carriers Organizes Major Food Drive to Support U.S. Food Pantries
The National Association of Letter Carriers is organizing the 34th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, scheduled for May 9. This event is recognized as the largest single-day food drive in the United States. Residents across Michigan and other states are encouraged to participate by leaving non-perishable food donations in bags by their mailboxes. These donations will be collected by letter carriers and delivered to local food pantries. Suggested donation items include cereals, dry milk, canned goods, and pasta, among others. The drive is crucial as many food banks and pantries are experiencing low supplies, with over 47 million Americans, including 14 million children and 7.4 million seniors, facing food insecurity. Historically, food banks receive most donations during the winter holidays, leading to depleted supplies by spring. The U.S. Postal Service supports this initiative through its extensive delivery network, reaching communities nationwide, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands...
