Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one day food drive in the country. Letter carriers retrieve donations of food from postal customers as they deliver the mail. Originating from each of our local post offices we will need individuals with cars, pick-ups or vans to meet up with postal workers on their routes, unload them and help transport donations from the USPS routes to the post offices. Additionally, we need helping hands at each post office in Butler County to help unload vehicles and load donations onto our waiting trucks.
