Post Office Food Drive to Benefit Fremont Township Food Pantry

Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across America collect food donations through the NALC Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive — the largest one-day food drive in the nation.


To donate, please place a box or bag of unexpired non-perishable food next to your mailbox on Saturday, May 9 before your letter carrier arrives. Your carrier will collect it, the food will be sorted, and donations will be distributed to help support local residents in need, including through our pantry.
