The US Postal Service and National Association of Letter Carriers will lead America’s Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive throughout Wake Forest on Saturday, May 9, with local support from Tri-Area Ministry and the Northern Community Food Security Team (NCFST).
On that day, Wake Forest community members are encouraged to leave a bag of non-perishable food items next to their mailbox before the regular distribution of mail. Letter carriers will collect the items which will be delivered to and distributed by the Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry, 149 E. Holding Ave.
Suggested non-perishable food items include:
– Canned vegetables, fruits, and proteins
– Peanut butter and jelly
– Pasta, rice, and boxed meals
– Cereal and granola bars
Please note: Glass containers and expired foods will not be accepted.
Donations collected in Wake Forest will stay in Wake Forest – directly supporting local families served by Tri-Area Ministry Food Pantry.
