LANSING, Mich. — 1-in-7 Mid-Michigan residents are struggling with food insecurity. Spring is a critical time for food donations since many children will lose access to school meals during the summer months. To combat this, postal workers will be collecting non-perishable food for Mid-Michigan families on Saturday, May 11, 2019 as part of the 27th annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Food collected during the drive will be delivered to Greater Lansing Food Bank for distribution to families in need. Area residents can leave boxed or canned goods by their mailboxes, and letter carriers will collect the food as they deliver Saturday’s mail. All food donations MUST be placed in bags. A major recipient of this food drive are children on summer break, making this a critical time for food donations.
