Unloaders will grab food donations brought back to the post office from letter carriers vehicles and volunteers cars. *Email Evan at evanm@efoodnet.org to get signed up!
This is our largest food drive of the year, helping us supply food pantries throughout Pierce County with shelf stable foods! The National Association of Letter Carriers has held an annual nationwide food drive for over 30 years, collecting non-perishable food donations along postal routes. EFN and its volunteers work closely with Union Branch 130 to collect more than 200,000 pounds of food in one day!

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!"
