The Food Drive effort is the nation’s largest single-day drive. In 2017, 75 million pounds of food was collected, which brought the grand total of donations to more than 1.6 billion pounds of food collected since the drive began in 1992. Be on the lookout for brown paper bags that your letter carrier can provide. You can fill this bag with non-perishable foods and your letter carrier will pick them up from your mailbox Saturday morning, May 12. Please, no glass jars or opened packaging. All donations will stay right here in the Rio Grande Valley.
