Annual Stamp Out Hunger this Saturday…need is great

CRAWFORD COUNTY—Letter carriers across the nation are preparing for the 2022 Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

According to the National Association of Letter Carriers, the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is the largest single-day food drive in the U.S. On Saturday, May 14, mail carriers will pick up non-perishable food donations from customers’ mailboxes nationwide.

To donate, participants just leave the items in or around their mailbox. From there, all donations are given to local charities.

According to Paul Peter of the National Association of Letter Carriers.

“We have been highly successful in the past. Unfortunately, with COVID, it’s added to the depletion of the food pantries and the food banks. So, we are hoping to re-energize and restock our local charities.”
