Happening this Saturday, May 11, 2024, one of America's great days of giving - the National Association of
Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive.
Letter carriers travel through the communities daily, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many, hunger.
Each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the county collect non-perishable food donations from
our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Yuma who
need our help.

Our food drive's timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the
Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on
supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.
Participating in this year's Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive is simple. Just leave non-perishable food donations
in a bag by your mailbox Saturday, May 11 , 2024 and your letter carrier will do the rest. With your help, letter carriers
and the US Postal Service have collected over 1.9 billion pounds of food in the United States over the 30 years as a national
food drive. Please help us in our fight to Stamp Out Hunger.
