The National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the nation’s largest one-day food collection effort, is back for its 36nd year! Held annually on the second Saturday of May, this initiative has made a tremendous impact in our community. In 2024, FoodLink received 15,000 pounds of food thanks to the generosity of our neighbors.

This year, we’re calling on our community to come together once again to support those in need. Here’s how you can help:

1. Donate Food
On Saturday, May 10th, 2024, leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox for your mail carrier to pick up. All donations will be delivered to FoodLink and distributed to families in our community.
Please avoid: Glass containers, sugary foods or drinks, and expired items.

2. Donate Funds
Monetary donations are a critical way to support FoodLink’s efforts. Your contribution helps ensure the food collected reaches those who need it most.

If you rather send a text make checks payable to: FoodLink for Tulare County to P.O. Box 391 Exeter, CA 93221

3. Volunteer Your Time
We need volunteers to assist at various post offices across Visalia (Lovers Lane, Acequia, Beech) to help receive and organize food donations as mail carriers drop them off.
