All you have to do is leave a bag of nonperishable food next to your mailbox this Saturday and your mail carrier will take care of the rest. All food donated in the St. Cloud area stays in the community and helps the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities food shelves.

The U.S. Postal Service says one in six Americans is facing hunger and according to Hunger Solutions Minnesota, more than 7.5 million Minnesotans used food shelves in 2023. Stamp Out Hunger is the largest one-day food drive in the U.S. and collected over 6,000 pounds of food last year.
