CALL: No Cuts to Medicaid

Currently, more than 44 million Americans are unsure where their next meal will come from. More than 14 million are children who feel hunger's impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school. Nearly 5.5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many who live on fixed incomes often too embarrassed to ask for help.

This food drive's timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need.

Last year, NALC members and volunteers collected 44 million pounds of food. This remarkable feat proves just what we can accomplish together through solidarity and hard work.

Join community leaders to support the Letter Carriers' efforts collecting food for the Emergency Food Network. We will need drivers, people to help unload vehicles and load the food bins. Food, drinks, and snacks will be provided.
