Stamp Out Hunger® is a registered trademark of the National Association of Letter Carriers, and may not be used or reproduced without prior written permission of the National Association of Letter Carriers. Are food drive donations tax-deductible?All donations to the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive are tax-deductible because all of the food collected on Food Drive Day is given directly to non-profit charity food agencies in the community the food was collected. Though the National Association of Letter Carriers plans the Food Drive’s logistics and letter carriers provide the transportation for each donor’s generous donation, the National Association of Letter carriers is not the agency that gets listed on tax forms for claiming deductions. There are more than 10,000 food agencies throughout the country that receive these donations, so if you itemize your taxes and want to provide proper credit for your Food Drive donations, you will need to determine the name of the agency (food pantry or other charity) that received your food, as well as the agency’s address and tax identification number for proper reporting on your tax-filing forms. The Food Drive Coordinator at your local post office (click here for a post office locator) should be able to give you the name of the receiving agency, and that agency will likely have tax information handy.
Community serviceAs the need for food assistance is still more significant than ever, we want to allow everyone to continue to meet that need and help your local community food pantry or bank. The Stamp Out Hunger Donor Drive is a drive with a single mission—to feed the hungry in America, and as always, with your help, we will! Food drive coordinators can find resources to help them in their local communities here. Find all the media resources such as the PSA video, press release, media plan and flyer here. Please donate what you can to a food bank in your community. Simply find your state below and click on the link to donate directly. All collections stay in the local community.NALC Headquarters will match any branch contribution from the branch treasury to that same local food bank. Please mail proof of such branch donations and information on the food bank to:

The Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive is the outgrowth of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ tradition of community service, a tradition exhibited repeatedly by members of the letter carriers’ union over the years. These carriers, who go into neighborhoods in every town at least six days a week, have always been involved when something needed to be done, whether it be collecting funds for a charity like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, watching over the elderly through the Carrier Alert program, assisting the American Red Cross during time of disaster, or rescuing victims of fires, crime, and other mishaps.
