AFTRA members can help Stamp Out Hunger™ on May 12

Join with AFTRA members and millions of Americans on May 12 in the fight to end hunger. The AFL-CIO, the United States Postal Service, and Campbell Soup Company are partnering to once again sponsor Stamp Out Hunger, the nation’s largest single-day food drive. The event, created by the National Association of Letter Carriers, AFL-CIO in conjunction with America’s Second Harvest delivered over 70 million pounds of food in 2006.

This year’s goal is to raise 1 BILLION pounds of food for millions of hungry Americans.
