Let's Help Feed Local Families!

The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will conduct its annual national food drive on Saturday, May 14. NALC's food drive, which was first held in 1983, helps feed millions of Americans.

The Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive, the country's largest one-day food drive, provides residents with an easy way to donate food to those in need.

Customers simply leave their donation of non-perishable food items next to their mailbox before the delivery of the mail on Saturday, May 14. Letter carriers will collect these food donations on that day as they deliver mail along their postal routes, and distribute them to local food banks, pantries, shelters and churches.

The Letter Carriers' food drive is held annually on the second Saturday in May in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. Hunger affects 1 in 8 Americans, including millions of children, senior citizens and veterans.

In the 30 years since it began, the food drive has collected about 1.82 billion pounds of food for struggling residents.

All you need to do is place non-perishable food items in a bag and set it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 14, before your mail is delivered.  Your postal carrier will pick it up on Saturday and deliver it to food banks and pantries in our community.

You can also drop off non-perishable food at the USPS Algonac branch: 801 Saint Clair River Dr., Phone: (810) 794-3821

Thank you for your participation and thank you to all the postal carriers for their efforts for this important cause!
