Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive returns Saturday, May 11

Westfield, IN (May 1, 2024) — On Monday, April 22, Mayor Scott Willis proclaimed May 11, 2024, as Letter Carriers’ Food Drive Day during the Westfield City Council meeting. 

The National Association of Letter Carriers hosts its annual ‘Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive’ on the second Saturday in May. This one-day initiative provides food to communities across the nation. All food donations collected in Westfield will directly benefit our community, ensuring that our neighbors in need are taken care of.

Please place non-perishable food donations in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11. Your letter carrier will do the rest. Help the National Association of Letter Carriers in their fight to Stamp Out Hunger.

“For more than 30 years, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has conducted an annual nationwide food drive on the second Saturday in May. Using the unparalleled postal networks, letter carriers collect non-perishable food donations as they deliver mail along their postal routes. It is held in 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Among the many local volunteer groups that will help are the United Way, Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, National Guard units, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars, Boy/Girl Scouts, various student groups, Rotary Clubs, and AARP groups. Over the course of its history, the food drive has collected over 1.9 billion pounds of food to help feed our neighbors.” NALC stated
