“W hat our lettercarriers do onthis one day isamazing,” said

Rachel Bristol, chief executive officerof the Oregon Food Bank.

Bristol’s statement, made in regard toletter carriers’ participation in our 20thannual national Stamp Out Hunger FoodDrive on Saturday, May 12, is just oneexample of the praise heaped on NALCmembers again this year.

“This is truly a community effort,”Bristol told Portland’s KTVZ Channel21, “involving thousands of volunteerswho unload trucks at every post office,box the food and load it onto donatedsemis for delivery to the regional foodbanks and food pantries.”

In Wheaton, IL, Melissa Travis, seniordirector of services for the People’sResource Center, told the Glen EllynPatch that the event is “our biggest fooddrive of the year,” benefitting her centerthat helps stock a food pantry servinglow-income DuPage County residents.

The results of this year’s drive are in,and customer generosity across thecountry on the second Saturday in Mayhelped letter carriers pick up 70,743,973pounds of non-perishable food items.This was the ninth consecutive year that

collections topped the 70-million-poundmark, surpassing last year’s amount andbringing the grand total to nearly 1.2 bil-lion pounds collected since the nationaldrive began in 1993.

“Hunger in this country is a challengethat is far too big for one person to solvealone,” NALC President Fredric Rolandosaid. “Because we are members of oneof the oldest and strongest labor unionsin America, we recognize the power thatcomes from banding together to solvethe toughest problems.

“Our food drive really brings this pointhome,” he said. “When each of us picksup a bag of food from one customer, andthen another and another, it doesn’t takelong before our LLVs are full, our loadingdocks are overflowing—and soon we’refilling trucks and warehouses with lit-erally tons upon tons of food.

“While the drive doesn’t erase ourcountry’s hunger problem, there canbe no doubt that it makes a huge dif-ference in the lives of our customers,”the president added.

Minneapolis Branch 9 letter carrierRandio Sainio agreed, telling KAREChannel 11 that delivering the mail mightbe his daily duty, but one day a year, hetakes pride in also delivering someone’snext meal. “You know that people arereally giving, and it’s awesome,” he said.

“When the weather’s good, it makesa big difference,” Sainio added. “Every-body is happier; people are out.”

Fall River, MA Branch 51 PresidentPaul Knarr noted how charities in hiscommunity depend on the annual drive,since the donations help shelters andpantries make it through the summermonths. “It bridges the gap before holi-day donations come in,” he told The Herald News.

Salvation Army Major Betty Demingadded that her Fall River shelter nowfeeds 400 to 500 families each month, a30 percent increase over last year.“Our food pantry has been runninglow,” she said. “This (drive) is reallygoing to help us.”

Twenty years and countingFollowing a successful pilot food

drive held in 10 cities in October 1991,the NALC began working with thePostal Service to roll out a bigger effortthat spanned the country. Food bankrepresentatives told drive organizersthat a late-spring date would work bestfor such an annual effort, since thatwas when donations collected duringthe winter holiday drives began todwindle.

“This helps the local food pantry at acritical time of year,” Dave Weichinger,outreach director for Community Ser-vices Inc. in Nodaway County, MO,told the Maryville Daily Forum. “Dona-tions to the pantry are usually down assummer approaches, so the timing forthis food drive is perfect.”

Plus, in many communities, free orreduced-cost meals that are offered tochildren during the school yearbecome unavailable during the sum-mer vacation months, placing an evengreater financial strain on the needyfamilies that depend on such assis-tance during the school year.

“These kids know that they’re notgoing to have the school breakfast orthe school lunch program that theywere accustomed to for the other 42weeks of the year,” Val Traore, CEO ofthe Food Bank of South Jersey, toldPhiladelphia’s WPVI Channel 6. “Andnow for these 10 weeks, they’re goingto struggle along with their parents.”

So the second Saturday in May waschosen as “Food Drive Day.” Over thedrive’s 20-year history, individualbranch participation in the nationaldrive has steadily increased. Takingpart in the drive on May 12 were 1,417

NALC branches, representing everystate in the union plus the District ofColumbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. VirginIslands and Guam.

“This drive is yet another reminderthat we do more than deliver the mail,”Rolando said. “Because we serve everyneighborhood in America six days aweek, we get to know our communitiesand our customers, and we develop akeen awareness for when somethingisn’t right. The food drive is just onemore way to make a difference in thelives of people who often become asimportant to us as members of ourown families.”

Filling a need“We have anywhere from 100 to 125

people coming through the line” everyWednesday, Harlingen, TX Neighbor-hood Food Pantry coordinator JimCoffman told the Valley Morning Star.“This (drive) is a great help to the peo-ple that are receiving food.”

Harlingen Branch 2983 PresidentAbel Castañeda said his town’s resi-dents should feel good about theirstrong response to the campaign. “Thepeople responded great and thatmakes us feel really good that theywere aware of the need here, andresponded,” he said.

In Ventura County, CA, FOOD Sharefeeds more than 74,000 people eachmonth and distributes food via 150pantry partners and programs. “Notonly did our letter carriers and donorsgo above and beyond to help feed thehungry” this year, FOOD Share coordi-nator Karen Jensen told the Star,“there were dozens of businesses andvolunteers that pitched in behind thescenes to make the food drive an over-whelming success.”

President Rolando acknowledgedthat, while letter carriers lead the fooddrive effort, we get a great deal of sup-port from many sources. “Our familymembers, our friends, and thousandsof community volunteers help us get

the job done, year after year,” hesaid. “And of course our nationalsponsors lend an invaluable handas well.” This year’s official spon-sors were the National Rural Let-ter Carriers’ Association, Camp-bell Soup Company, Valpak, U.S.Postal Service, United Way, AFL-CIO, Feeding America, UncleBob’s Self-Storage and AARP.

And these national backers really do make a difference. Forexample, realizing that providingcustomers with specially markedbags has been shown to encour-age greater food drive participa-tion, Campbell’s donated 1 million“Stamp Out Hunger” grocery bagsto be distributed in targeted loca-tions around the country. ThePublix grocery store chain pro-vided similar bags throughout itssoutheastern U.S. locations, andAARP produced more than 13.5million bags of its own for specialdelivery to states where senior-citizen hunger is a major problem.

“One in six families here on the Gulf Coast is below povertylevel, and that means that some-body is going to bed hungry everynight,” Mississippi State Associa-tion President Greg White toldBiloxi’s WLOX Channel 13. Hisstate was one of those supplied withspecial food drive bags from AARP.

“So far, the response has been50 percent better than we havehad in previous years,” White said,noting how the bags made some-thing as easy as leaving a sack offood by the mailbox even easier.

Leaving an impression“It’s wonderful,” said Buffalo-

Western New York Branch 3 carrier Lynn Gozdziak, describingthe drive to WIVB Channel 4. “It’s hard work, but it pays off inthe long run. Everyone benefits;especially now with the economy

the way it is, everyone is benefit-ting and you don’t realize howmany people need the food.” Thestation’s report noted how the col-lected food stays in the local area—in Buffalo, collections there benefit86 local food banks and pantries.

Walter Klepaski of the WyomingValley, PA United Way appreciatesthe local angle that the letter carrier drive brings to communi-ties. “Here in Wyoming Valley,approximately 30 local food banksand pantries receive the donatedfood,” he told the Wilkes-BarreTimes Leader. “For many foodbanks, the NALC Food Drive represents about 25 percent of theirtotal amount of food distributed tothose in need on an annual basis.

“Most are unaware that thisgroup of hardworking individuals is not mandated by the U.S. PostalService to collect the food while stilldelivering the mail, but rather volun-teer to do so,” Klepaski added.

For many letter carriers, fooddrive day is merely another Satur-day delivering the mail—just witha twist. “It’s pretty much the samething I do every day, except I’mgoing to be picking up food,” Lubbock, TX Branch 2589 lettercarrier Tika Williams told KJTVChannel 34.

“The people on my route areawesome,” she said. “They give somuch. I see a bag and I think,‘How am I going to get that backto my truck? By the time I get tothe end of my route, I’m not goingto have any room for mail!’ ”

South Plains Food Bank Direc-tor of Development Lyn Garciaappreciates the enthusiasm ofWilliams and her co-workers. “Ourcupboards are pretty bare here atthe food bank,” Garcia said.“We’ve been really waiting for thisfood drive. We really need thisinflux of food.”

“The donations from this fooddrive help our neighbors who arestruggling to pay high utility billsand still have enough left over tobuy food for their family,” saidRodney Bivens, executive directorof the Regional Food Bank inOklahoma City. “Thank you toeveryone who donated to makethis food drive a huge success.”

“I have been struck speechlessby your generosity—and that is noeasy feat since I have kissed theBlarney Stone twice in my lifetime,”outreach worker Denise Steinwrote in the Orange (CT) Patch.“With your assistance, I will now beable to feed the folks who use thefood bank for quite a while.”

But for all of the many successesour annual drive continues to enjoy,in many communities its effects aresadly temporary. For example, APlace to Turn, a pantry that servesresidents of 30 Natick, MA-areacommunities, has already been seeing a 10 percent to 15 percentincrease in demand every year,Executive Director Joanne Barrytold The Boston Globe. But in Apriland May, demand suddenly jumped28 percent over last year’s numbers,

she said, almost canceling out thefood stock replenishment offeredby the Stamp Out Hunger drive.“We usually every year have foodthrough the end of July,” Barrysaid. “We are already through allthe food.”

As the country continues tostruggle to shake the effects ofthe worst economic recessionsince the Great Depression of the1930s, President Rolando said thathunger likely will be a problem inAmerica for many years to come.

“This is why we do what we doon the second Saturday in Mayevery year,” he said. “Letter carri-ers are on the front lines, servingevery neighborhood in Americasix days a week. We see theneed—and it motivates us to dowhat we can to help stamp outhunger and make a difference.”

And as the NALC closes the bookon the 2012 drive, planning alreadyis under way for our 21st nationalouting on Saturday, May 11, 2013.
