STAMP OUT HUNGER! 2008
Food Drive Fact Sheet
On Saturday, May 10, 2008 , the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will collect food donations to benefit those at greatest hunger risk in an effort to fight hunger during the NALC's annual Stamp Out Hunger! food drive.
Beyond the Call of Duty...
• The Stamp Out Hunger! drive is a nationwide effort to provide food to local food banks and pantries, which would otherwise have depleted stocks during the summer months, to help feed the hungry on a daily basis.
• The nation's 230,000 letter carriers will be collecting food donations in more than 10,000 local communities and delivering them to food bank members of America 's Second Harvest – The Nation's Food Bank Network and other hunger relief organizations.
• Last year the letter carriers collected more than 70 million pounds of food from generous Americans, bringing their impressive total to more than 836 million pounds since 1993.
• Campbell Soup Company is supporting this important initiative by kicking off the food drive with a national donation of one million pounds of soup and other food and beverage items that will be donated to food banks across the country.
The Face of Hunger…
• According to the America 's Second Harvest, 35 million Americans are food insecure, hungry or at risk of hunger. Approximately one in four people in a soup kitchen line is a child.
You Can Help...
• Helping Stamp Out Hunger! is as easy as checking your mailbox. Just leave a bag of non-perishable food where your letter carrier normally delivers your mail. Your letter carrier will then pick up and deliver the food to a local food bank. Examples of non-perishable items include:
• Canned soup

• Canned vegetables and fruits
• Boxed goods (such as cereal)
