National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive

A blue plastic grocery bag will be delivered to your mailbox in the week before the drive; fill it with non-perishable food items and place it by your mailbox on Saturday morning, May 10. Your letter carrier will make sure your donations reach Food Lifeline - and the table of a hungry family in your neighborhood.
