"Stamp Out Hunger" is the nation's largest single-day food drive. This day will help to provide numerous meals to families and individuals in need along the Central Gulf Coast and will ensure that the food bank's shelves are stocked during the lean summer months.
On this day trucks will bring donations, collected throughout the community, to the food bank. Volunteers will be unloading the donations from the trucks and sorting them into bins, separating them into canned and dry good items.
Requirements: All volunteers must be able to lift at least 40 lbs. Closed-toed shoes required.
