Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

By Ethan Nahté

Be on the lookout in your mailbox for a grocery bag to help Stamp Out Hunger. The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will be doing their 31^st Annual Letter Carrier’s Food Drive. They need your help to fill a bag and help feed families.

Carriers will be picking up bag-healthy, non-perishable food items Saturday, May 13. Just place the provided bag by your mailbox. Your food donation will be delivered to food banks and pantries in your community. All donations stay in Arkansas.

In 2022, the Mena U.S. Postal Service collected 6,037 pounds of food. Local food pantry assisted Acts of Love assisted and picked up the non-perishables.

Suggested healthy, non-perishables include pasta, cereal, oatmeal, canola oil, peanut butter and canned goods, including beans, fruit, vegetables, soup, tuna in water, meat and sauce. Avoid glass containers.

The National Association of Letters Carriers partners include the United States Postal Service, AFL-CIO, Local Food Pantries, Kellogg’s, Valpak, CVS Health, United Way, Vericast, and their premiere partner UFCW.
