Hosted by The National Association of Letter Carriers and the United States Postal Service, the largest national food drive (Stamp Out Hunger) occurs annually on the second Saturday in May. This year that’s Saturday, May 10, so remember to leave non-perishable food items at your mailbox for letter carriers to collect! In Las Cruces, keep your eye out for the brown bag to be delivered right to you with your mail the week of the food drive. No brown bag? Any bag or box will work!

In Las Cruces, food collected through Stamp Out Hunger benefits Casa de Peregrinos Emergency Food Pantry. We are so grateful to our local letter carrier’s union for going above and beyond to help feed our neighbors in need, we would also like to thank everyone from United Way of Southern New Mexico for this great partnership. We can’t run this event without their participation, and we need you too!

In addition to non-perishable food items, you are also welcome to donate funds. Every dollar donated to Casa de Peregrinos helps us distribute up to five meals to families experiencing hunger.

We thank you for all the ways you chose to support this event!
