Thanks to everyone who helped Stamp Out Hunger this weekend! Results are still being calculated, and will be posted soon. In the meantime, check out photos from Senator Al Franken’s appearance at one of the Cub Foods sites!

The National Association of Letter Carriers is at it again, collecting food and monetary donations nationwide to feed our hungry neighbors. With the weakened economy and the increased demand for emergency food, there’s an urgent need to help feed those children, working families and seniors in our communities who are struggling to put food on the table.

This year’s goal for Stamp Out Hunger: Minneapolis/St. Paul is just over 1 million pounds of food – collected in one day! But to accomplish this incredible feat, we need your help.

It’s easy to participate!

1. This week,  look for a blue plastic bag in your mailbox. Fill it with non perishable food items (no homemade items or glass containers, please) and set it by your mailbox on Saturday, May 9th. Your letter carrier will do the rest.
2. Donate online, or stop into your nearest TCF Branch to make a cash donation. For each $5 donated, Second Harvest Heartland can distribute $45 worth of food and grocery products to our hungry neighbors.
3. Sign up to volunteer at one of 28 Cub Foods locations on May 9!

More and more people in our community need our help. Will you join us in this effort to Stamp Out Hunger in the Twin Cities?
