Neighbors are asked to “Stamp Out Hunger” this weekend

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) - Letter carriers across the country will be picking up non-perishable food donations during The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 9.

It is the 34th anniversary of the largest one day canned food drive in the United States and part of the National Association of Letter Carriers' drive.

On the second Saturday in May, letter carries stop by and deliver mail and pick up donated items to take to area food banks.

With nearly 47 million Americans suffering from food insecurity the drive helps provide meals to children, elderly, and others.

Anyone wanting to donate to the drive just needs to leave their non-perishable food donations in a bag next to their mailbox on Saturday and the letter carriers will pick them up.
