The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will hold the nation’s largest one-day food drive on Saturday, May 9th. The Annual NALC National Food Drive will deliver donations to area food pantries for local families in need.
More than 47 million people in the US face hunger, including more than 13 million are children who feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school.
Many of our neighbors in the Northland don’t have enough food to eat or don’t have access
to healthy food. The is a community problem and we need to unite to solve it.
To participate in the food drive, postal customers may place a box or bag of non-perishable
food next to their mailbox by 9 am on Saturday, May 9. The carriers and volunteers will do
the rest. All donated food will be taken back to a local postal station to be sorted and
delivered by volunteers to local food banks and pantries.
