NALC is the chief organizer of the largest one-day food drive in the nation. The NALC effort is held annually on the second Saturday in May in 10,000 cities and towns in every part of the country. Residents put non-perishable food donations at their mailboxes on that day, and letter carriers collect it as they deliver mail along their postal routes. The food is then taken to All Faiths Food Bank and will be used to feed children and their families during the summer as part of the 2015 Campaign Against Summer Hunger. The food drive has collected more than 1.3 billion pounds of food since the national drive began in 1992.

“The concept behind the drive is simple: We ask our customers to leave non-perishable food donations at their mailboxes— and we take care of the rest."
