The National Association of Letter Carriers will be delivering mail and collecting food on May 12 with their annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive.

The drive benefits local food banks. Last year, Hopelink received 134,459 pounds of food from the drive, according to Scott Milne, Hopelink food-program manager.

Although the Stamp Out Hunger drive collects mostly food, Milne said cash donations are sometimes given as well.

“Money is really nice because when we do have a shortage we can utilize these funds to purchase items that we’re low on,” he said.
