Stamp Out Hunger is almost here! 📬🥫

On Saturday, May 9, letter carriers across the country will once again collect non-perishable food donations right from your doorstep as part of the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, the nation’s largest one-day food drive.

It’s easy to participate: place a bag of non-perishable food items near your mailbox before your mail is delivered, and your letter carrier will take care of the rest!

This effort helps support our neighbors across the bi-state region, and every donation makes a meaningful difference in providing hunger relief.

Please note: while this drive reaches many neighborhoods, some areas may not receive collection bags.

If you don’t receive one, or if you’d prefer, you can always drop off donations directly at the St. Louis Area Foodbank, Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. No need to coordinate ahead of time, just drop by!

Together, we can help stamp out hunger in our community. 💛

If you need food in the St Peters or St Charles area take a look at the school.

This program is designed to educate, empower, and connect women to trusted health resources in the St. Louis region.

The St Louis area food bank has been feeding a lot of people in need support them by volunteering and giving them can goods to distribute to the local communities.

Having access to fresh produce and protein-rich foods can make a real difference for our neighbors and their families. 🏠🥬🥕

For many, getting healthy food isn’t as simple as going to the store. A nearby grocery store may not exist — and even when it does, barriers like transportation challenges, rising costs, and affordability can make nutritious options feel out of reach.

That’s why the St. Louis Area Foodbank works closely with community partners across the bi-state region to break down those barriers and ensure fresh, nutritious food is accessible where it’s needed most.

Access to healthier food shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be the norm — for everyone. 🍎🌱🙌
