NALC Food Drive brings 60,104 lbs! A 20% increase over last year
Thanks to every person who donated a can of food – you have made a difference to a hungry child, senior, man or woman in your community. A special thank you to United Way, all the volunteers and the letter carriers for their extra hard work that makes this possible. The food brought in is greatly needed this time of year.
Calling all volunteers!.
Chances are you know someone who has been impacted by hunger. Over the next few months the River Bend Foodbank will be taking a closer look at the situation in our area as part of a massive, nationwide study conducted by Feeding America, called Hunger in America 2014. Click here to see more.

Stamp Out Hunger Coming Up on May 11
Biggest one day food drive is the country is coming up thanks to all of our letter carriers. This could not come at a better time for us—our shelves get bare at this time of the year. One food item makes a real difference in an effort this big. We also need volunteers for this. Email us at derickson4201@gmail.com if you are interested.
