It's Official: NALC Food Drive Collects 70.5 Million Pounds of Canned Goods

Thanks to the generosity of customers and employees, the 2012 “Stamp Out Hunger” Food Drive was a resounding success.
The Postal Service, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), Feeding America, the Campbell Soup Company, and other partner organizations — including the National Rural Letter Carriers Association and other USPS employees — worked together and collected more than 70.5 million pounds of food during the nation’s largest single-day food drive.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the 2012 “Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive” and was the ninth consecutive time donations totaled more than 70 million pounds. Since the program began in 1992, more than 1 billion pounds of food has been collected to help feed America’s hungry.
