Letter Carriers’ Food Drive

The annual Letter Carriers’ Food Drive will take place on the second Saturday in May.

Residents are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items by placing them in a bag near their mailbox. Letter carriers will collect the donations and deliver them to local food banks, helping support families in need across the community.

This nationwide effort is supported by organizations including the United States Postal Service, United Way, and the National Association of Letter Carriers.

Join the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) this Saturday, May 10, for the 2025 Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive!

Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of nonperishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993, the NALC’s annual program has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.

Simply leave your donation of nonperishable food in a bag near your mailbox this Saturday, and your letter carrier will do the rest.

A note from President Mickey Carr —

Let's come together to celebrate Robert Shaffer's remarkable journey as he retires from the MS AFL-CIO, where he has tirelessly championed the rights of working families and led with distinction as President for over 24 years. A true unionist at heart, Robert has inspired countless individuals through his unwavering dedication and leadership. His legacy will undoubtedly continue to empower future generations. Thank you, Robert, for your enduring commitment to creating positive change.

South Mississippi home to state's three top employers.

A recent survey showed these 3 companies topped Mississippi's list of best employers because of the perks and benefits offered in addition to wages.
