Letter carriers to host Stamp Out Hunger food drive

Letter carriers across the country will collect non-perishable food donations from customers May 11 as part of the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Donations collected locally go directly to food pantries in Colorado.

Last year, 71.6 million pounds of food was collected nationally. Almost 50 million Americans – 1 in 6 – are unsure where their next meal is coming from.

To participate in the food drive, leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox May 11 before mail delivery for a carrier to pick up.
