On May 11, a nationwide effort will take place as mail carriers across all 50 states do more than just deliver mail. The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is transforming mail routes into lifelines for those in need of support.
Why a Food Drive in May?
Many of us don’t realize that food banks face a significant decline in donations post-holiday season. May is a pivotal time to restock and re-energize community efforts to ensure that no one has to go hungry as the seasons change.
How You Can Help
You’re already set if you’ve received a donation bag in your mail. If not, any reusable bag will do. Just fill it with nonperishable food items like canned vegetables, pasta, rice, and cereals. Place the bag by your mailbox on the morning of May 11. Your local mail carrier will handle the rest and ensure that your donation reaches those who need it most.
Prefer to Drop Off?
For those who prefer a more personal drop-off, you can visit us at 206 Rush St. Roselle, IL 60172. We accept donations on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9AM to 12PM.
Questions?
If you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to contact Vicki Johnson at vicki.johnson@roselleumcpantry.org. She’s the local Executive Director for the program and will be happy to assist you.
