For the ninth year, Move For Hunger joined the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) for the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
During the nation’s largest one-day food drive, residents place non-perishable food items in a bag near their mailbox for carriers to collect on their postal routes. Without assistance from school lunch programs, over 20 million kids face hunger during the summer months. Donations are essential for local food banks and pantries to help food insecure families.
This year, over 20 of our transportation partners helped provide more than 226,000 meals to communities all over the U.S. Together we were able to transport over 271,000 lbs of food to banks and pantries across the country. We’re so grateful to have a network of partners who are committed to fighting hunger.
