National Association of Letter Carriers’

Stamp Out Hunger

Food Drive, May 11

Donate online or leave non-perishable food items by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11 — and your letter carrier will do the rest.

Each year, letter carriers across Hawai‘i head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit our local food banks. Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive.

The need is great, but you can help. We invite you to join letter carriers and our partner organizations in the fight to end hunger in our communities by participating in the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Simply leave your donation of non-perishable food in a bag near your mailbox on Saturday, May 11, or join us now by making an online donation today!

When you donate online, we can stretch your impact even further.
Every $1 can help provide food for more than 2 meals.
