National Association of Letter Carriers will be kicking-off the nation's largest single-day Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on May 10
Participating post offices include Allentown, Coplay, Germansville, Orefield, Slatington, Schnecksville and Walnutport.
Residents are encouraged to leave factory-sealed, non-perishable food items in a sturdy bag next to their mailbox prior to the time of their regular mail delivery on Saturday.
Non-perishable foods include items that are not in glass containers such as canned soup, canned vegetables, canned tuna, pasta, rice or cereal.
Local letter carriers will collect these food donations as they deliver mail Saturday and provide them to Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania and other local member agencies.
