MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – The National Letter Carriers Association will hold its annual End Hunger food drive in 10,000 cities across all 50 states on Saturday, May 11, 2023. The food drive benefits food banks across the country.
It's easy to join. Keep non-perishable foods in sturdy bags near your mailbox. A postman (or woman) receives mail when he delivers it. Everything you donate stays in your community. Letter carriers suggest donating items such as cereal, dried pasta, canned fruits and vegetables, soups and juices.
This is a nationwide food drive. However, all proceeds remain local. When the letter carrier returns to the post office after completing his rounds in the area, Heart of Alabama Food Bank staff and volunteers will drop off all donations. Heart of Alabama Food Bank staff and volunteers will transfer the donations into tasty containers, and a driver will drive them to the post office and bring the donations back to the warehouse.
The “End Hunger” food drive has become the largest food drive in the United States. While most mail carriers participate in “End Hunger” food drives, not all of them do. Participation is completely voluntary. Please contact your local post office to ensure you receive your groceries.
