You'll be helping some of the 51 million Americans — including more than 6 million who are 60 and older — who struggle to put food on the table. Since the National Association of Letter Carriers began Stamp Out Hunger in 1993, the program has collected more than 1 billion pounds of donated food, including more than 77 million pounds last year. Together, AARP and AARP Foundation established the last year to stop hunger in its tracks. This year, they're teaming up with NALC. AARP distributed 3 million Drive to End Hunger grocery bags for use in areas of concentrated senior hunger on May 14. Each one says: "It's not just a bag of food. It's a bag of hope."

Canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice can be donated. No products in glass containers or past their expiration dates, please. Leave the bag by your mailbox before your usual delivery time on Saturday, May 14. Your letter carrier will pick up the bag and deliver it to a community food bank, pantry or shelter.
