NALC Stamp Out Hunger

The National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is an annual event that mobilizes communities across the nation to help combat hunger. Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by residents near their mailboxes. These generous contributions go directly to local food banks and pantries, supporting individuals and families struggling with hunger.

Food pickup will take place in select ZIP codes across Chesapeake, Suffolk and Virginia Beach. If your ZIP code is listed below, simply leave your nonperishable food donation by your mailbox on the morning of the food drive, and your letter carrier will collect it during regular mail delivery.

• Chesapeake: 23320, 23321, 23322, 23323, 23324, 23325
• Suffolk: 23432, 23433, 23434, 23435, 23436, 23437, 23438
• Virginia Beach: 23451, 23452, 23453, 23454, 23455, 23456, 23457, 23462, 23464

Summer brings challenges for those facing food insecurity. With school closures and increased childcare needs, the absence of meal programs leaves many families struggling to put food on the table. Your generosity ensures that no one in our community goes hungry during this critical time. Spread the word, mark your calendars, and let’s Stamp Out Hunger!
