The 24th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger food drive will be held on Saturday May 14th, 2016 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 your mail.
How can you help? Just fill a bag with non-perishable foods, leave it by your mailbox on Saturday May 14, and your letter carrier will deliver the food directly to Mercer Street Friends Food Bank. This event is critical to Mercer Street Friends Food Bank as we prepare for the increased demand for food in the upcoming summer months.
Food donations needed are: canned tuna, chicken and salmon; canned fruits and vegetables; canned pasta meals; canned or dry beans; peanut butter and jelly (plastic containers only); soups; hot and cold cereal (non sugary preferred), pasta and tomato sauce (plastic containers only). No glass please.
