Stamp Out Hunger is the National Association of Letter Carriers’ (NALC) annual food drive that locally supports Second Harvest Heartland, the fourth largest food bank in the Feeding America national network. On Saturday, May 8, 2,000 letter carriers from throughout the Twin Cities collected food at thousands of doorsteps for those in need.

With your help, we collected over 1.2 million pounds of food this year!
