FARM SHARE
& STAMP OUT HUNGER
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.
To donate, simply place a box/bag or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail Saturday May 10th. The carrier will do the rest.
The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive will be held on May 10th and is the nation’s largest food drive of the year. This is a national effort that links the National Association of Letter Carriers to food banks all over the country in order to fight food insecurity and is everyone’s opportunity to get involved from home.
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has once again chosen Team Farm Share as their partner food bank in Florida so that all statewide donations gathered that day go to Farm Share. All donations that are sent to Farm Share will benefit Florida’s families in need.
Floridians who are able to donate are being asked to gather nonperishable food items at home and bag the items in a shopping bag. The donation bags can be left on the side of everyone’s mailbox on Saturday May 10th. A letter carrier in your area will pick up the donation bag and make sure that it is sent to Farm Share. You can also take your donation bag to your local post office and drop it off there! Team Farm Share will distribute the donations all over the state of Florida to those in need. This your opportunity to participate in nationwide event to fight food insecurity!
Florida’s hardworking families are being squeezed economically by record breaking price increases in housing, gas and overall cost of living. Blue collar families are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table every night. We need your help to make sure they are fed and that NO PERSON GOES HUNGRY!
