Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive taking place this weekend
CLAY COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – The National Association of Letter Carriers holds the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive every May. This year, the effort takes place on Saturday, May 10. Residents will receive bags that they can fill with non-perishable, healthy food items and put the bag next to their mailbox. Mail carriers and volunteers will collect the bags and then distribute the food to local agencies. In Clay County, food collected will be split among three agencies: the Clay County Emergency Food Pantry, Saint Vincent de Paul and the Senior Center. Clay County Emergency Food Pantry CEO Mike Robinson said USDA program cuts, higher food prices and increased food demand during the summer months are reasons why donations are crucial at this time. 'If you look across the statistics, one out of five are food insecure, and so when you look at what's going on, the price of food and the capability of people to be able to buy the food, this will supplement and take care of that need,' said Robinson. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive started back in 1993. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
