Letter Carrier's Food Drive

Save to Favorites

On Saturday, November 16th, the National Association of Letter Carriers, the United States Postal Service and the Rural Letter Carriers Association will host its annual Letter Carrier's Food Drive.

In Albuquerque, the food collected through the Food Drive will benefit Roadrunner Food Bank and will help us provide meals to 70,000+ hungry individuals, children, and seniors throughout New Mexico. As part of this campaign, we will be encouraging community members to leave out a bag of non-perishable food at their mailboxes as donations to help feed New Mexico’s hungry. Letter carriers will pick up any food donations left at mailboxes.

Volunteers are needed at 11 different post office locations to receive food from the postal carriers and help sort food into different bins/barrels. The volunteer shift will be 2-3 hours long with different start times at each location. Roadrunner Food Bank staff will be working along with the volunteers at each post office and will provide guidance and training.

For young groups of kids, we ask that there is a 1:3 adult to kid ratio for ages 6-9 and 1:6 ratio for ages 10-15 (if you are an organization this ratio needs to be met even for children who are 18 years old). This is a requirement as we must make sure there are enough adults to help the kids volunteer.

Thank you in advance for helping us in our mission to solve hunger in New Mexico!
