(KNSI) — Letter carriers in the St. Cloud area are taking part in the 34th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 9th.
Locally, donations will benefit Catholic Charities Emergency Services Food Shelf and Salvation Army Food Shelf. All food collected in the St. Cloud area stays in the community.
Participating is easy. Just leave a bag of nonperishable food items next to the mailbox that day, and letter carriers will handle the rest.
Organizers say one in six Americans face hunger, including children, seniors, and veterans. According to Hunger Solutions Minnesota, more than nine million visits were made to food shelves in 2025, many of them working families and students facing food insecurity for the first time.
Stamp Out Hunger is the largest single-day food drive in the United States.
Business sponsors for the local drive include Bernick’s, Coborn’s, and Custom Catering by Short Stop.
