Letter carriers’ food drive set for May 11
This year’s edition of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Letter Carriers Food Drive is May 11.
This is the 27th annual Food Drive that the group has sponsored. Aiding the group’s efforts are the U.S. Postal Service, the Rural Letter Carriers Association, United Way and the AFL-CIO.
The event is the largest one-day food drive in the nation. Last year, more than 71 million pounds of food were donated. That brings the total donated during the history of the event to more than 1.6 billion pounds.
Customers are asked to leave donations of non-perishable food on their mail box May 11, and the letter carrier will pick them up when delivering the mail.
All donations will be distributed to local food banks.
