The Foodbank offers many opportunities for you to get involved.
Stamp Out Hunger
On Saturday May 8, 2010, the Postal Service will once again join the NALC and the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to Stamp Out Hunger. To help Stamp Out Hunger this year, simply leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice or cereal next to your mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery on Saturday May 8th. The local letter carriers will then collect donations from homes across the area and deliver them to the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank. Learn more about Stamp Out Hunger.
