About Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
Career , United States
Ends: May 14, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
The Food Drive is held each year on the second Saturday in May.
“With kids out of school and the departure of our winter guests, our food needs increase greatly during the summer months. Without school-supported programs, our clients’ food budgets are stretched to the breaking point.”
Arizona’s Apache Junction Food Bank’s Sharon Brown
When the national food drive started in 1993, food banks suggested that it be held in the spring, when the stocks of food donated during the winter holidays were starting to run low.
“Without the Letter Carriers’ Food Drive, it would be very difficult for the food pantry to have enough food throughout the year,” Jason Schaff of Santa Clarita, CA’s Valley Food Pantry told The Signal.
The NALC was able to provide critically needed goods to local food distribution centers in every state. The tally for the 2017 drive, as of the June 2017 Postal Record’s deadline, was 71 million pounds of food collected in more than 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This figure brought the quarter-century total to more than 1.5 billion pounds.
