NALC Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

 

Saturday, May 12, 2018

The 26th Annual National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is coming up, and we are asking everyone in the Southeastern Virginia community and the Eastern Shore to take part in the nationwide, one day event. It’s simple to participate- all you need to do is fill a plastic bag with non-perishable items and leave it at your mailbox the morning of May 12, 2018, for your letter carrier to pick up. The letter carriers will then deliver all food collected to the Foodbank!

Last year, 86,800 pounds of food was donated, which equates to 72,300 meals. And, this

food comes at a crucial time. As we near summer vacation, the need for food increases. Many students receive free and reduced price lunch during the school year and lose these meals when school lets out for summer. This is where the Foodbank steps in, and you step in.  We can help supplement for the missed meals through our partner agencies and summer feeding sites.

Expect your Food Lion Sponsored “Stamp Out Hunger” bag in the mail the week of 5/7!

If you aren’t able to donate food, but would still like to make a difference, please consider donating online. With just $10, we can purchase up to $60 of grocery products!

Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore

In her first year of gardening, Ariel and her team of friends grew and donated over 200 pounds of produce to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore. Her next goal—500 pounds!

You can also make hunger “grow away.” Donations to the Foodbank help support the following programs and put healthy, fresh food on the tables of our food-insecure neighbors.

• Our Plant-a-Row program, which encourages local gardeners to donate surplus produce to the Foodbank.

• Partnerships with local farmers in which they grow crops at tremendously discounted prices, guaranteeing our families will be able to get fresh, local fruits and veggies at the Foodbank year-round.
