Stamp Out Hunger 2013

On the second Saturday of May each year the letter carriers in Elk Grove will be conducting a food drive to assist the less fortunate in our city. The U.S. Postal Food Drive is the country’s largest one day-collection. “We are truly grateful for the response to the drive in past years and the dedication of our local letter carriers,” said Executive Director, Marie Jachino.

The Elk Grove Food Bank Services is always in need of a helping hand, but Saturday, May 11, we will get the help of several hands. All over Elk Grove letter carriers will deliver mail and pick up canned goods and non-perishable food.

Remember the Postal Carrier food drive is Saturday, May 11, the day before another important day, Mothers Day!

Elk Grove Stamps Out Hunger

Our Postal Carriers must have had to creatively pack the donated food and the mail in their trucks.  They transported the mail out and the food back to us, so much food!  We so appreciate their effort.  Some of your customers and neighbors will directly benefit from your effort.  Thank you!

The results have not been officially weighed, but by the "calibrated eye" of our volunteers, we estimate we received three times more food this year! 

Thank you US Postal Service and all others in our community that participated in this incredible effort!
