The 28th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, scheduled for May 9, has been postponed until later in 2020. A new date has not yet been scheduled.

The annual success of the food drive is largely due to the efforts of letter carriers, other postal employees, postal customers, community volunteers and many more. With much of the United States under shelter in place or similar advisories due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is highly unlikely that those involved in the food drive will be able to safely participate at this time.

NALC and our national partners recognize that food assistance is a critical need for many during this difficult time, and we remain committed to helping those in need in the communities we serve across America. We look forward to once again holding the largest one-day food drive in America when it is safe to do so.

While we may not be able to safely conduct the food drive on its traditional date, we encourage those who would participate to consider donations that may be safely made to local food banks in the form of food or financial assistance.
