Letter Carriers food drive collects 70.7 million pounds of food The National Association of Letter Carriers national food drive on May 12 collected 70,745,176 pounds of non- perishable food nationwide, reported union President William H. Young. It marks the fourth year in a row that citi- zens donated more than 70 million pounds of food to the needy through the union’s “Stamp Out Hunger” drive. In Oregon and Southwest Washing- ton, Letter Carriers collected more than 1.6 million pounds of food, surpassing its statewide goal of 1.5 million pounds of food and increased more than 14 per- cent over last year’s totals. The NALC food drive takes place on the second Saturday in May. It’s the largest one-day food drive in the nation.
