This year, the UFCW is once again partnering with the National Association of Letter Carriers to sponsor the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive—the largest single-day food drive in the country—on Saturday, May 9. This campaign is an opportunity for UFCW locals to make a positive difference in the lives of millions of America’s families who are suffering from the effects of hunger.
According to Feeding America, over 48 million people in the U.S., including one in five children, are coping with food insecurity—which is why the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is so important. This food drive donates millions of pounds of food at a critical time when many food banks are struggling to keep up with the demand of feeding more families due to rising inflation and higher food prices.
During the past few years, UFCW locals from across the country helped to collect millions of pounds of food for this campaign. This year, we are encouraging all UFCW locals and their members to get involved in this food drive by collecting unopened, non-perishable food and placing the items in a bag next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers their mail on Saturday, May 9.
Help us make this year’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive a success. You can get more information about the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive here. Locals are encouraged to send photos of Stamp Out Hunger events to Julie Anderson at janderson@ufcw.org.
