UPDATE: NALC Food Drive 2010

On Saturday, May 8, volunteers and Second Harvest staff joined forces with the National Association of Letter Carriers and residents of the First Coast for the 18th Annual "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive - a national event that produces hundreds of thousands of pounds of much-needed food resources that will go to people in need in North Florida.

Residents were asked to leave their donation beside their mail boxes, which were then picked up by letter carriers on their normal delivery routes. All donations in Jacksonville go to Second Harvest and its network of more than 500 nonprofit agencies serving people in need.

At the end of Saturday, the food collected had eclipsed 200,000 pounds but additional stations and outlying areas will report numbers throughout the coming week to arrive at a final total. The goal for this year's food drive is 425,000 pounds.
