Every second Saturday in May letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America deliver much more than mail when they walk and drive along their postal routes. They also collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive –
- the largest one-day food drive in the nation and probably the world.
All citizens need to do is place a box or can of non-perishable food next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers mail every second Saturday in May; the carrier will do all the rest. The food is taken back to a postal station, sorted, and then delivered to an area food bank or pantry.
