You can help your community this weekend with the annual United Way of Adams County’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive.

Where Donations Stay In Adams County

The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) organizes this nationwide drive every year on the second Saturday in May to help replenish food banks, especially during the spring months.

How The Stamp Out Hunger Drive Works

This Saturday, May 9, residents across Adams County are encouraged to donate what they can by leaving items in their mailboxes for their mail carrier to pick up. Simply place non-perishable food items, such as canned soup, pasta, rice, peanut butter, and other shelf-stable foods, in a sturdy bag by your mailbox before your regular mail delivery.

How To Donate Without A Traditional Mailbox

If you don’t have a traditional mailbox, you can still donate. Leave your bag of donations near where you normally receive your mail, or drop off non-perishable food donations at a nearby USPS post office.

All collected food stays in Adams County to help support local community members in need.
