After a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the National Association of Letter Carriers and Tri-State Food Bank are thrilled to once again team up for the 30th Annual STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE this Saturday, May 14, 2022. Â
The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is conducted nationally, and is the country’s largest one-day food drive, providing residents with an easy way to donate food to those in need. Residents can simply leave their donation of non-perishable food items next to their mailbox before the delivery of the mail this Saturday, May 14. Letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver mail along their postal routes. All donated items will be distributed by Tri-State Food Bank to local food banks, pantries, shelters and other feeding programs.
In its 30-year history, the food drive has collected approximately 1.82 billion pounds of food nation-wide for struggling residents. In Evansville alone, over two million pounds of food has been collected since the first Stamp Out Hunger in 1983.Â
Tri-State Food Bank and The National Association of Letter Carriers would like to invite the public to attend the official kick-off of this year’s food drive this Friday, May 13th at 9:00 AM CST on the back dock of the Evansville Main Post Office at 800 Sycamore Street in Downtown Evansville. Among those in attendance will be representatives of the National Association of Letter Carriers, who will read the STAMP OUT HUNGER FOOD DRIVE DAY Mayoral Proclamation, which has been issued by Mayor Lloyd Winnecke.
