  1. Mark your calendar. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive takes place on the second Saturday in May each year.
  2. Fill a bag. Donate nonperishable items like canned goods, pasta, rice and cereal.
  3. Leave It by Your Mailbox. Place your donation by your mailbox, and your letter carrier will pick it up during their route.

 

Why It Matters

United Way of Central Alabama partners with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Branch 530 and the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama each year to bring Stamp Out Hunger to our community.

Since its national launch in 1993, Stamp Out Hunger has grown into the largest one-day food drive in the country. Each year, letter carriers collect nonperishable food donations directly from homes, helping stock the shelves of food banks and pantries across Central Alabama.

This simple, collective effort helps provide meals for families, children seniors and individuals facing food insecurity—making a meaningful impact right here at home.
