FOOD: Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive with Heaven's Windows

Save to Favorites

Be a part of ending hunger in San Diego and participate in the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the largest one-day food drive in the nation. Every second Saturday in May, letter carriers in cities across America collect the goodness and compassion of their postal customers, who participate.

Volunteers at the Post Office in Spring Valley will retrieve donated food from the post office mail carriers and place it in large bins to be delivered to the Heaven's Windows warehouse. Volunteers at the Heaven's Windows warehouse will check canned and dry goods for expiration dates and sort them into categories. By supporting this event, you will help Heaven's Windows receive tons of donated food to distribute back into the community through their partner organizations and food pantries.
