KAUKAUNA — The annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service and others, happens this coming Saturday, May 10, 2025.
This year, the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry in Little Chute will benefit from collections made by the Kaukauna Post Office.
Among the items they’ll be looking for are canned fruit, canned pie filling, jams/jellies (non-glass please), oatmeal, rice sides, paper plates, toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and cleaning products. Bags for donations and instructions will be in your mailbox this week.
To donate, just place a box or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail Saturday. The carrier will do the rest. The food is sorted, and delivered to an area food bank or pantry, where it is available for needy families.
Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers, who participate in the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation.
Led by letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers (AFL-CIO), with help from rural letter carriers, other postal employees and other volunteers, the drive has delivered more than 1.82 billion pounds of food the past 30 years.
Carriers collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in post offices and deliver them to local community food banks, pantries and shelters. Nearly 1,500 NALC branches in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands are involved.
The United States Postal Service, National Association of Letter Carriers, National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, AFL-CIO, United Way, Vericast, Valpak Direct Marketing Systems, CVS Health, Kellogg’s, and United Food and Commercial Workers International Union are all supporting this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
One in ten Americans face hunger every day in America. This drive is one way you can help those in your own city or town who need help.
