Want to do you part to end hunger in America and clean out your pantry at the same time? Here’s how. On May 10, gather together a collection of nonperishable food—canned soup, meats, fish, juices, vegetables and fruits; boxed goods (such as cereal); and bags or boxes of pasta and rice—and leave the bag wherever your letter carrier normally leaves your mail. The nation’s 230,000 letter carriers will collect these donations in more than 10,000 communities and deliver them to food banks and other hunger relief organizations. Last year, they collected more than 70 million pounds of food. For more information, go to the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive's website.
