Note: This year’s Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, scheduled for Saturday, May 9, has been postponed to promote the safety of our mail carriers and community.
Stay tuned for information on a new date!
Description: Each May for Hunger Awareness Month, our postal workers make a huge effort to relieve Pierce County Hunger. You may have seen the bags that get delivered to your mail box. These are later picked up full of food that adds up to more than 200,000 pounds, or 160,000 meals for neighbors experiencing hunger!Volunteers are crucial to the success of this one-day drive. We need both driving teams and unloaders at almost every post office in Pierce County. Driving teams are pairs of people (one driver, one loader) who will take on a mail carriers route to pick up food left by mailboxes and bring it back to the post office. Unloading volunteers will be posted at the post office to unload mail trucks and driver team vehicles into our EFN trailer.
Registration: To register, create an account on MyImpactPage now! Once you are logged in, you will be able to view these and all of our other volunteer opportunities.
With any questions, call (253) 584-1040 or email MadisonS@efoodnet.org
Happy volunteering!

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!"
