Stamp Out Hunger delivers over 52,000 pounds of food
ELKHART — The 2025 Stamp Out Hunger food drive collected 52,414 pounds of food across Elkhart County, organizers said Thursday, an effort involving community members, letter carriers and volunteers.
All donations are staying local, helping stock the shelves of area food pantries, they said.
Individual totals:
Bristol 2,109 pounds
Elkhart – 28,500 pounds
Goshen – 9,814 pounds
Middlebury – 12,000 pounds
Stamp Out Hunger is a national effort led by the National Association of Letter Carriers. Locally, the event was coordinated in partnership with Crossroads United Way, Elkhart Area Food Pantries, community volunteers and generous donors like Martin's Super Market, which provided the bags.
'Thanks to amazing volunteers like Julie Wilson and her kids, we were able to collect over 28,000 pounds of items in the city of Elkhart alone,' said Jill Yoder, Crossroads United Way. 'It was a great day to volunteer as a family or with friends. Everyone can pitch in and help us Stamp Out Hunger.'
