Help Stamp Out Hunger Tomorrow

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

You can help feed a hungry person tomorrow. And you don’t even have to leave your house. The 19th annual National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive is set for this Saturday, May 14. “This is the one day in the year when letter carriers take control of the conversation about hunger in America, making a loud-and-clear case for providing a chance for millions of families, and millions of children, to have a hunger-free summer,” says NALC President Fredric Rolando. Leave a sturdy bag of non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice or cereal next to your mailbox before the regular mail delivery tomorrow and your union letter carrier will take it from there. More than 1,500 NALC branches from every state, involving more than 10,000 cities and towns, will help stock community food banks, pantries and shelters for the summer months.
