Every spring, the National Association of Letter Carriers holds the nation's largest food drive — at post offices throughout the country. For a week in May, everyone can help “Stamp Out Hunger!” in Brooklyn by making a delivery of non-perishable food items, such as canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice, at their local post office. All food donations are then repacked by the Food Bank and redistributed to community and emergency food programs to help families in need. Stay tuned for more details about the Spring 2012 campaign.
When: May 2012
Location: Grand Hyatt NYC, 109 East 42nd Street, at Grand Central Station, Manhattan
