Help fight hunger with ‘Stamp Out Hunger' food drive
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) – Every day, people and organizations are trying to make a difference to 'Stamp Out Hunger.'
This Saturday, May 10, is the 33rd National Association of Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, one of the largest one-day food drives in the US. The event is held every year on the second Saturday in May and accepts non-perishable food donations, which are distributed to local food pantries.
The food then helps fill the plates of the people who need it the most.

These donations are crucial for Feeding Southwest Virginia, and the public is asked to help provide for the community and share the news about the event this Saturday. Anyone interested in helping can fill a bag or blue bag provided by the US Postal Service with non-perishable foods, including canned soup, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, pasta, rice, or cereal.
Residents can then leave the bags next to their mailbox before mail is delivered on Saturday, May 10, for pickup by mail carriers who will then drop them off at local food agencies, including Feeding Southwest Virginia.
