Saturday, May 11 is the 27th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers. In the Noblesville and Fishers communities, local NALC Union 888 is partnering with Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank and its broad network of food pantries and meal programs across the county.
The letter carriers make this one of the easiest food drives you can do – just leave your non-perishable items in a bag (which will be provided in the mail the week before) by your mail box and they will pick it up on May 11. The food will be distributed here in Hamilton County to over 15 food pantries. HCH Food Bank wants to exceed last year’s grand total of 35,264 pounds.
Good items to donate include canned chicken or tuna, Chef Boyardee cans, mac and cheese cups, canned fruit, and cereal such as Cheerios and Chex.
HCH Food Bank and NALC Union 888 wish to thank the Noblesville Meijer store, Chick-fil-A restaurant, and On Lindley Hill for their donation of supplies and food and ALL of the volunteer groups and families who folded and stapled bags.
Hamilton County Harvest Food Bank – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit – supports over 40 food pantries and meal programs in neighborhoods all across Hamilton County with nonperishable food, fresh, locally grown produce, locally grown meat and network support. Since 2009, HCH has given over half a million meals into the Hamilton County food support network. HCH’s goal is to Work Together with YOU to Feed Hamilton County.
