The National Association of Letter Carriers holding the 30th annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive. 

Letter carriers from all over the country are organizing food drives to tackle hunger Saturday, May 14th. 

Taylorville Food Pantry co-coordinator Amy Hagen says it’s a huge help every year. 

Regionally, the Central Illinois Food Bank appreciates the help. Public Relations Manager Tim Kirsinikas says letter carriers are the backbones to the communities the food bank serves.

Hagen is thankful for a group of retired letter carriers who participate in the food drive. 

Krisinikas says that the need is just as great as before, if not more with rising inflation at grocery stores. 

If you want to help, make sure you leave non-perishable food in your mail box Saturday morning on May 14th. Letter carriers will deliver the food to the local pantry for you. 

Kirsinikas and Hagen appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
