Stamp out Hunger day--May 13th

Category: Public health
Posted on: May 12, 2006 10:10 AM, by Tara C. Smith

Tomorrow is the annual Stamp Out Hunger food collection drive. Sponsored by Campbell's Soup and the National Association of Letter Carriers, this is the largest single-day food drive in the country. You can help by 1) contacting your local post office or mail carrier and see if they're participating tomorrow, and 2) leaving a bag of non-perishable food items next to your mailbox (not IN your mailbox, as many of the mail carriers will have volunteers assisting in their collection). No glass, please--canned or boxed goods are ideal.

Hunger is still a real problem in our country, and many of those who go hungry are children. Stamp Out Hunger is a way you can help with minimal effort--heck, you probably have some staples in your cupboard already that you could easily spare. All you need to do is bag them up and set them by your mailbox before collection tomorrow.
