33rd Annual Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Set for May 10

GOLDSBORO, NC – United Way of Wayne County is once again partnering with the National Association of Letter Carriers for the 33rd Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive on Saturday, May 10, 2025. This nationwide campaign led by letter carriers aims to refill the shelves of local food pantries during a critical time of year. Locally, food collected will be distributed to several Wayne County organizations, including The Community Soup Kitchen of Goldsboro, HGDC Community Crisis Center, The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, AKA Sorority CHIP Program, Hydrant Church, and 4 Day Movement. The 2025 goal is to collect 15,000 pounds of food.

Households in the 27530, 27531, 27532, 27533, and 27534 zip codes will receive a postcard reminder and a designated plastic bag to fill with non-perishable food items. On May 10, residents may leave the bag of donations next to their mailbox, where their letter carrier will pick it up during mail delivery.

Donations may also be dropped off before the food drive in bins located in the Berkeley Station Post Office and the William Street Post Office lobbies. Requested items include unexpired, non-perishable food items, particularly canned goods (including those with pop-top lids) and boxed or bagged shelf-stable foods.

Volunteers are needed on May 10 to assist with loading and unloading donations. Volunteers should be able to lift at least 5 lbs. and have no mobility restrictions. Those interested may sign up at:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084CA9A92DA7F5C16-56069455-stamp
