National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive

Join the nation’s largest one-day food drive and help create a sustainable, nourished San Diego! Each May, letter carriers across America collect non-perishable food donations from their postal customers as part of the Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive. Porchlight Community Services is proud to partner with the NALC in this incredible community-driven effort.

 

How You Can Get Involved

 

  • Donate: Leave a bag of non-perishable food items by your mailbox on the second Saturday in May. Your letter carrier will collect and deliver these donations to local organizations like ours. Every contribution helps reduce food waste and builds a stronger, more sustainable community.

​

  • Volunteer: Play a hands-on role in making this event a success! Volunteers are needed to sort, load, and organize donated food items. Your efforts will help restock pantry shelves and ensure food reaches individuals and families who need it most.

 

Why Volunteer?

 

  • Make a Difference: Your time and energy directly support your neighbors while reducing food waste.

  • Build Connections: Meet like-minded individuals and foster a sense of community.

  • Team Engagement: Bring your coworkers, youth group, or friends for a meaningful team-building experience.
