Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Emergency Food Network

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 3 people are interested

This year marks the 26th Annual Letter Carriers’ Food Drive! 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! Unloading Teams are needed! Unloading Teams are individuals and groups of 2-8 volunteers who help to unload food from the postal carriers' vehicles and into an EFN receptacle.

Post office locations needing volunteer assistance:
  • FIfe Post Office
  • Lakewood Post Office
  • Parkland Post Office
  • Proctor Post Office
  • Tacoma Post Office
  • University Place Post Office

To register to volunteer, please email Merrit Reed (EFN’s Coordinator of Volunteer Activities) at merrit@efoodnet.org or call (253) 584-1040.

About Emergency Food Network

Location:

3318 92nd Street South, Lakewood, WA 98499, US

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 14 million pounds of food in 2023 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 over 12,000 hours in 2023. 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!"
