Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

On Saturday, May 12th, 2012, Campbell Soup Company will join forces with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) to help Stamp Out Hunger across America. Now in its 20th year, the annual food drive has grown from a regional to a national effort that provides assistance to the millions of Americans struggling to put food on the table.

The Stamp Out Hunger food drive, held on the second Saturday in May, has become the nation’s largest single-day food drive benefitting Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. The drive also serves as one of the largest, locally collecting between 40,000 and 50,000 pounds each year for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.

To participate, simply leave a bag of nonperishable food near your mailbox and your letter carrier will collect and deliver the donation to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. The drive will take place “rain or shine,” so remember to have your food donation ready by the morning of May 12th.
