The 32nd Annual National Association of Letter Carriers' Food Drive will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
Every year, on the second Saturday in May, Letter Carriers across the nation join forces to meet this community need by collecting non-perishable food and hygiene items right from their customers' homes.
We are in need of your help in this effort to collect items in your pantry and cupboards for our letter carriers to collect as they go along their route!
This in-kind portion of our event is by far the most important as there would be no donations without the generosity of our community members in La Crosse and Onalaska.
Donations remain in the communities in which they are collected and benefit the Hunger Task Force and WAFER Food Pantry in La Crosse, and the Onalaska Food Basket in Onalaska.
Just under 40,000 pounds were collected last year in participating 546 zip codes.
Non-perishable food items are appreciated as well as unopened hygiene items such as shampoos, toothpaste, soaps, mouth wash, feminine hygiene products and diapers.
For more information or questions on this need please contact Connor Glassen at Great Rivers United Way at (608) 796 - 1400 ext. 107 or via email at cglassen@gruw.org.
