Want to help "stamp out hunger"? You can start by making an effort not to waste food, but perhaps a more direct route to take is to leave a can or three of non-perishable food items in your mailbox this Saturday. If you live in the US, Saturday May 13th is the National Letter Carrier's Food Drive (a.k.a. the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive), which means that postal workers will be collecting the cans of food from mailboxes and delivering them to local food banks and soup kitchens.
Actually, you're not limited to canned goods. Anything that is non-perishiable, not expired and not packed in glass is readily accepted, so browse the aisles of the grovery store for packaged soups, pastas, juices and similar products. If whatever you choose to donate is a bit bulky, you can leave it in a bag next to your mailbox or drive it down to the post office and drop it off there.
