MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – This Saturday, May 10, is the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive – the largest, single-day effort to put food on the table for thousands of individuals across our service area.
You can help make a difference in the lives of those in need by donating nonperishable food items to the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
