Thank you to all who helped supply food through the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.

Our community is at its best when we look out for one another. Hunger is a very real challenge right here in Knoxville and our surrounding counties, but it’s a challenge we can meet together.

From the incredible letter carriers who do the heavy lifting to every neighbor who drops a can into a donation bin. You don't need to make a massive donation to make a massive difference. One bag of groceries can feed a family for days.

Join the fight against hunger today. Visit www.fishpantry.org to see how you can donate food, give financially, or sign up for a volunteer shift!

We expect 50,000 lbs of food in the coming weeks to be distributed through the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive on Saturday, May 9.

For over 30 years, letter carriers have organized this national event to combat local food insecurity. This year, the Smoky Mountain Branch 419 will collect donations across Knoxville and surrounding areas, including Oak Ridge, Maryville, Kingston, Harriman, Lenoir City, Jefferson City, and Newport.

How to Participate
Fill the Bag: Place non-perishable food donations in the provided bags (or any bag) by your mailbox.

The Heavy Lifting: Your letter carrier will collect the donations directly from your home during their route.

Local Impact
Donations are managed by FISH Hospitality Pantries, which sorts and distributes the food to neighbors in need throughout Knox County and surrounding agencies.

"Stamp Out Hunger is a once-a-year opportunity to ‘mail’ food to your neighbors," says Jim Wright, FISH Executive Director.

Beyond providing basic nutrition, this drive allows local pantries to offer a wider variety of choices, building a stronger sense of food security and wellbeing for the tens of thousands in our region currently struggling with hunger. By filling a bag, you help ensure that a "rising tide lifts all boats" in our community.

We understand that life happens, and sometimes you just need a helping hand—fast. That’s why FISH Hospitality Pantries does not require any form of I.D., proof of income, or residency to receive food. We provide canned, dry, and perishable goods to anyone who comes to us in need, because no one in our community should have to go to bed hungry.

Hunger doesn't take a day off, especially for the children in our community. Through our Kids BOOST program, every child who visits a FISH pantry receives their own kid-sized bag filled with healthy, nutritious, and organic snacks like fruit, yogurt, and whole grains. We believe every child deserves the nutrition they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
