Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

Benefitting The Peoria Area Food Bank

May 8, 2024

Did you receive a grocery bag in the mail? Don't throw it out! We are excited to announce Stamp Out Hunger is happening Saturday, May 11, 2024. Stamp Out Hunger is an annual food drive organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers in the United States. On the Second Saturday in May, letter carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and deliver them to local food banks and pantries. It is the largest single-day food drive in the nation. Its goal is to address hunger and food insecurities in communities across the country. 

Want to contribute? 

  • Fill the bag with non-perishable food items
  • Leave it out by your mailbox for your letter carrier
  • That's it! 

Food from this drive helps fill the shelves of food banks, shelters, and meal programs across Peoria. While one bag of food may seem small, a little goes a long way. Stamp Out Hunger succeeds every year thanks to the donations of generous neighbors like you! 

Participation is voluntary. To donate through the Peoria Area Food Banks, visit: https//www.peroiafoodbank.org
