Stamp Out Hunger! food drive, 5/10

On Saturday, May 10, Minneapolis letter carriers will collect food donations to be delivered to community food banks, pantries and shelters as part of Stamp Out Hunger! Now in its 16th year, the food drive has collected more than 836 million pounds of food.

To contribute, leave a sturdy bag containing nonperishable foods — such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal — next to your mailbox before the mail comes on May 10. Your local letter carriers will collect them.
