The annual food drive is part of a national campaign organized every fall by the National Association of Letter Carrierd, the Rural Letter Carriers Association and the United States Postal Service. In New Mexico, donations will go to Roadrunner Food Bank, the Food Depot and other local food banks.
It’s easy to participate. Fill a bag with non-perishable food and leave it near your mailbox before your letter carrier arrives on Saturday, November 17. Use any bag or box to place the food items. Alternatively, you can take your donations to your neighborhood post office, where a bin has been set up for customers to deposit their food items. (The bin is also there for postal customers whose address is a post office box).
Roadrunner Food Bank has developed this list of suggested non-perishable food items for folks to donate.
- Beans
- Boxed Meals
- Canned Meats
- Canned Vegetables
- Canned Fruit
- Cereal
- Condiments
- Pasta
- Peanut Butter/Jelly
