Letter carriers Stamp Out Hunger May 13

PARSIPPANY — Letter carriers across the country will take part in their 25th Annual “Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive” on Saturday, May 13.

The drive, sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), is America’s largest one-day food collection event that provides millions of pounds of food to local hunger relief agencies.

Place non-perishable food items in a bag next to the mailbox before the letter carrier arrives on Saturday, May 13 and the letter carrier will do the rest. Food collected is donated to local food pantries.

In the Morristown area, the food will be donated to the Interfaith Food Pantry. Some of the items most needed are canned soup, canned fruit, canned tuna, evaporated, dry or shelf stable milk, pasta sauce in cans or plastic jars, canned beans, pasta and cereal.

In 2016, the Interfaith Food Pantry served nearly 10,000 people across Morris County, distributing more than one million pounds of food. Food Pantry clients include low-income working families and their children, senior citizens living on fixed incomes, people with disabilities and others unemployed or in crisis.
