You can help stamp out hunger next weekend placing food donations in your mailbox. 

The annual food drive is hosted by the National Association of Letter Carriers, and Stamp Out Hunger is the largest single-day food drive in the country.

Northern Nevada residents can help the Food Bank of Northern Nevada by collecting non-perishable, non-expired food items and leaving them in a sturdy bag near their mailboxes on Saturday, May 11. 

No glass jars.

Most needed foods include:

* Entrées (Soups, Chili’s, etc.)

* Protein (Tuna, Chicken, Beans)

* Canned fruit (Packed in water or juice preferred)

* Canned vegetables (Low sodium preferred)

A letter carrier will collect the donations and deliver them to local food banks and pantries, including the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, Sierra Community House in north Tahoe & Truckee, Healthy Communities Coalition benefiting all of Lyon County, Carson Valley Food Closet in Gardnerville, Fish in Carson City & Dayton, and New Frontier in Fallon. 

The Food Bank of Northern Nevada says one in ten northern Nevadans face hunger.

Supporters can also participate by donating online where every $1 helps to provide 3 meals.
