On Saturday, May 10, 2008 letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America will deliver much more than mail when they walk or drive their routes. They will also gather the generosity of their postal customers participating in the 16th annual NALC National Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the nation.

All citizens need to do is place a box or can of non-perishable food next to their mailbox before their letter carrier delivers mail on Saturday, May 10th. The carrier will do the rest. The food is taken back to a postal station, sorted and delivered by union volunteers to an area food bank or pantry for needy families to access.
