DEMING — Mail carriers and the U.S. Postal Service are joining forces this Saturday for a food drive to “Stamp Out Hunger.”
The annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive is the largest single-day food drive in the U.S. In New Mexico, Deming and 18 other communities are set to participate.
Local organizers recently mailed brown bags to local residents and want it or any sturdy bag or box with nonperishable food items. Then, leave it near your mailbox before mail delivery this Saturday.
If you have a PO Box, you can bring your food donation directly to your USPS location.
Mail carriers will pick up the donations that will then go to a local organization in the community.
They’re requesting these foods in particular:
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Peanut butter
- Pasta
- Rice
- Boxed meals
