Always the second Saturday in May - RAIN OR SHINE!

The Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is the largest, single-day food drive in the nation, and an easy way to make a difference in your community.

On Saturday, May 10, 2025, rain or shine, letter carriers and volunteers will collect bags of healthy, non-perishable donated food people, like you, have set out by their mailboxes. Donations are sorted and taken to local food pantries to feed hungry Hoosiers.

Rain or shine the Stamp Out Hunger food drive goes on! 

Event organizers recommend: “If it is raining we encourage people to put their donations in a plastic bag and tie it shut if possible but please don’t let the weather keep you from donating. People with mailboxes by the street or in apartments with pedestal type group mailboxes can also place their donation inside their mailbox."

The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is very important to local pantries and neighbors in need.

In the spring, food supplies are typically lower. As schools let out for the summer, the need for additional food is greater since young students don't have access to free or reduced breakfast and lunch programs. And locally, nearly 1 in 5 children are at risk of going hungry.

In our region, 1 in 7 people are at risk of hunger.  Many are not eligible for other nutrition programs and the high cost of living has made it difficult to make ends meet.  This means they rely more on food pantries and kitchens for healthy, nutritious food.

In 2025, Hoosier Hills Food Bank distributed almost 5.8 million pounds of food to neighbors and partner agencies in six counties, including over 1.3 million pounds of fresh produce.

Will you help us feed hungry Hoosiers this year?
