NALC Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
Mark your calendars!
The 20th annual National Association of Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive will take place on May 12, 2012.
How can you help?
On May 12th, your local letter carrier will be doing more than dropping off your mail. Simply leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, like canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal, next to your mailbox before the time of regular mail delivery. Your letter carrier will pick up your donation and it will be delivered to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia to support those in need in our community.

It's a quick and easy way for the whole community to get involved in fighting local hunger.
