Stamp out Hunger

Join the Discount Queens on Saturday, May 9th and Stamp Out Hunger.  This is the nation's largest annual single-day food drive! The more people who help, the more successful.

About Stamp Out Hunger

On Saturday, May 9th, letter carriers in more than 10,000 communities will collect food items and deliver them to local food banks to help some of the millions of Americans, including an estimated 13 million children, who face hunger every day.

Since 1993, families have donated more than a half-billion pounds of food to Stamp Out Hunger. You can help make this year our most successful ever

What Can We Do???

Simply place bags filled with nonperishable food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice next to your mailbox on Saturday, May 9th. 

Your letter carrier will pick up the bags and deliver them to your local food bank.

I know we all have been excessive on one shopping trip and have plenty to share.... so start digging through the food pantry ladies.

Thanks for posting this! You beat me to it. If you forget to donate on Saturday, you can always come to the coupon class and drop off your stash too! We hope to see you there!
