Mail Carriers Work To Stamp Out Hunger In Montana
Letter carriers across Montana will work to stamp out hunger in the Treasure State the second weekend in May.
For 30 years, the National Association of Letter Carriers has continued its tradition of helping food banks in their local communities.
Stamp Out Hunger Details
The annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive will be on May 11th.
On this day, mail carriers will pick up non-perishable food items left outside mailboxes along their routes.
The mail carriers will then deliver the food to the local food banks.
To participate, grab a few nonperishable food items, put them in a grocery sack, and leave them out by your mailbox. It's that simple.
