23rd Annual Letter Carriers’ Food Drive Set For Saturday May 9th

On Saturday, May 9, 2015, the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive celebrates its 23rd year helping the hungry .How Can you get involved?

Last May, letter carriers and dedicated volunteers helped collect almost 73 million pounds of non-perishable food, bringing the total to more than 1.3 billion pounds of food collected since the national drive began.

It’s the largest one-day food drive in America, and it’s made possible by thousands of letter carriers who volunteer their time to participate—as well as countless thousands of volunteers who help sort, collect and distribute much needed food to local food banks and pantries across the country.

It's easy to donate. Just set out your food well before your letter carrier’s normal pick-up time. They will be delivering and collecting mail as usual, on top of collecting food donations, so that pickup time could be slightly later than usual.

If you'd like to know how our community did, the results are expected to be revealed the first week of June, and they will be posted here as well as on Facebook and Twitter.
