How to Participate in Annual Letter Carrier's Food Drive
- On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the National Association of Letter Carriers will conduct the 34th annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive, the nation's largest single-day collection event for non-perishable food donations.
- Since launching in 1993, the drive has collected well over 1.94 billion pounds of food. Pantries need restocking as donations typically decrease during summer months while demand remains high.
- Residents should leave bags of non-perishable food—canned proteins, peanut butter, and vegetables—next to their mailboxes before Saturday's mail delivery. Letter carriers will collect donations along routes for distribution to local food banks.
- Rising inflation and food costs have intensified demand for assistance, making this support critical for struggling families. Food Bank of Delaware President and CEO Cathy Kanefsky said, "They help deliver hope," emphasizing the drive's impact.
- With 13.5% of U.S. households experiencing food insecurity, this initiative addresses a critical need. Interested participants can enter their zip code online to find their local NALC branch and confirm participation.
