Saturday May 10th, 2014 the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will conduct its 22nd annual food drive to combat hunger in Mercer County. The national food drive, better known as Stamp Out Hunger is the nation’s largest single-day food drive, with letter carriers in 10,000 cities and towns collecting bags of non-perishable food donations, as they deliver mail along their postal routes.
How can you help? Just fill the bag that your mail carrier will drop off with non-perishable foods, leave it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 10, and your letter carrier will deliver the food to Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. What could be easier? This food drive is critical to Mercer Street Friends Food Bank as we prepare for the increased demand for food in the upcoming months.
This is a collaboration between the local postal carriers and Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. Suggested donations include: canned tuna, chicken and salmon; canned fruits and vegetables; canned pasta meals; canned or dry beans; peanut butter and jelly (plastic containers only); soups; cereal (non sugary preferred), pasta and tomato sauce (plastic containers only). No glass please.
