Annual letter carrier food drive takes place Saturday [View all]

EVERETT — Look out for a bright yellow bag in your mailbox this week as the 33rd annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive approaches.

The food drive — organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers — takes place each year on the second Saturday in May.

Letter carriers across the country collect nonperishable food donations as they deliver mail. The donations go directly to local food banks.

Since the beginning of the food drive in 1993, letter carriers have collected nearly 2 billion pounds of food nationwide, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers.
