The National Association of Letter Carriers plans to help combat hunger during a single-day food drive on Saturday.

“Stamp Out Hunger Across America” provides assistance to families who are struggling to put food on the table.

Supporters include Campbell Soup Company, AARP Foundation, the AFL-CIO and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association. The drive benefits Feeding America, a domestic hunger-relief organization.

To participate, residents are asked to leave a sturdy bag of non-perishable food items, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter, pasta, rice or cereal, next to their mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday. Local letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver the mail and take them to local food banks.
