Postal Carrier Food
Drive
"Stamp Out Hunger"
|
| |
|
Thanks to everyone in our
community who regularly participates in this wonderful program!
We normally have approximately
40,000 pounds of food
collected in one day each year during the Postal Carrier
Food Drive. We also always have an outstanding volunteer
group helping unload all
that food. |

The National
Association of Letter Carriers, in conjunction with the
United States Postal Service, will be collecting non-perishable
food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta,
vegetables, cereal and rice on the 2nd
Saturday in May each year (this is the day before
Mother's Day), to help families
in need in our community. Please watch for your notification in
the mail and/or go to our Latest
News page for details. |

You can help by
placing your food donation at your mailbox on this day before your letter carrier arrives. It will be taken
to the Post Office and then delivered to Northern
Arizona Food Bank in
Flagstaff. Please do not include items that have
expired or those in glass containers.
Volunteers are also needed to help with this
event both during the event and the following week
after the Annual Letter Carriers Food Drive. This
all-day event is the nation's largest one-day food
drive. Please
call Northern Arizona Food Bank at 928-526-2211 if you'd like to volunteer
with this event in Flagstaff.
Monetary
donations to NAFB are also appreciated to help us help
those in need!
