Seattle letter carriers will be collecting food donations from local residents to donate to Food Lifeline during the National Association of Letter Carriers' 15th annual Stamp Out Hunger! food drive on Saturday, May 12. All donations will benefit people at the greatest risk of hunger in an effort to fight starvation.
The Letter Carriers operation, the nation's largest one-day food drive, locally benefits Food Lifeline, Wash-ington's largest nonprofit hunger-relief agency.
King County residents will receive plastic bags in their mailboxes the Thursday prior to the event. Community members are encouraged to fill these with nonperishable food items and place them near their mailboxes by 8 a.m. Saturday. (Appropriate items include canned goods - soup, meats and fish, juices, vegetables and fruits - and boxed goods such as cereal, pasta and rice.)
Local postal carriers and Food Lifeline will make sure the food is distributed to hungry individuals and families throughout Western Washington.
