Join Stamp Out Hunger 2026
Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries.
Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.
This year, it happens on Saturday, May 9, 2026, and Farm Share is proud to serve as Florida's official statewide partner
