The Letter Carriers' Food Drive is almost here! For Emergency Food Network, this single day is one of the most important food drives of the year. We receive close to 300,000 pounds of food, enough to stock Pierce County food bank shelves through the summer.
To help make this day a success, our friends at the United States Post Office need our help! Volunteer Driving Teams are needed to help pick food up in the community (teams need a personal vehicle and a group of 2-3 volunteers; maps are provided) and Unloaders are needed to help unload vehicles at the branches. Lunch and/or snacks and drinks will be provided!
Post Office branches in need of volunteers are listed below. To register to volunteer, please email volunteer@efoodnet.org or call (253) 584-1040.

Mission Statement
The mission of Emergency Food Network is "to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry."
Description
"Currently, 1 in 10 people in Pierce County face food insecurity, and this need is continuing to rise. Through our 75+ Partner Programs (food pantries, meal sites, and shelters) all over Pierce County, EFN distributed over 13 million pounds of food in 2022 to our neighbors in need, including fresh produce grown at EFN’s Mother Earth Farm. This work was made possible by our 2,000+ volunteers, who worked almost 13,000 hours in 2022. Volunteer work is vital in helping EFN pursue our mission of ensuring no person goes hungry. Volunteer opportunities include the Repack Project, Home Delivery, EFN’s Mother Earth Farm, and special events throughout the year. We hope you will join us!"
