Many Wright County mail carriers will participate in the 32nd Annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive on Saturday.
The annual event is the nation’s largest single-day food drive.
Letter carriers encourage patrons to leave a bag of healthy, non-perishable food items near your mailbox, or wherever your letter carrier normally delivers the mail.
Non-perishable items including canned soups, canned meats and fish, canned vegetables, fruits and juice and boxed goods like cereal, pasta and rice are all welcome. Letter carriers will then deliver those items to local food shelves and other hunger relief organizations.
Since its inception, more than a billion pounds of food have been collected nationwide through the Stamp Out Hunger campaign.
