It's hard to imagine that there are Americans who often go hungry-it's even harder to hear that of those that go without enough food, 17.2 million of them are children. In 2009, over 50 million Americans live without knowing where there next meal will come from.
Thankfully, there are organizations like Feeding America, that strive to do exactly that. 1 in 8 Americans now rely on Feeding America for groceries...thank goodness they are there for them.
And this Saturday, we can all try & help feed our nation's less fortunate if we simply donate to the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is the nation's largest single day food drive!
How Can You Get Involved?
It's easy! Select post offices are participating in this food drive & letter carriers will be collecting donations left in bags next to mailboxes on Saturday, May 14th.
- Place non-perishable items in a bag
- Leave it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 14th
- Your letter carrier will pick it up & deliver it to local food banks/pantries.

Being able to use the money saving skills I have developed to bless others who are less fortunate is something that is important to me. Please consider participating in this food drive...every little bit will help!
