MINNEAPOLIS — The nation’s largest one-day food drive, organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers, is coming Saturday, May 14.

Simply put a bag of non-perishable food items in a bag near your mailbox and your letter carrier will pick it up.

The food collected will be donated to local foodshelves.

In response to growing need, NALC Branch 9 in Minneapolis says the goal for this year is to collect 1.3 million pounds of food in the Twin Cities metro area.

Food donations also may be dropped off at 13 local Cub Foods stores May 14.
