HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive with the Post Office is back this Saturday, May 11.
"They like to get some canned tuna, vegetables, fruit, cereals, just things you'd normally buy on a weekly basis at the store," said carrier Josh Estrella.
The official date is Saturday, but they'll still pick up early next week.
"This will be my 18th food drive," Estrella said. "Each year, we try to increase the amount of food we bring in. There's a great need in our community. It is the single largest food drive, not only here in Reno County, but in America."
Everyone pitches in to get the food to the food bank. In a typical year, they receive around 20,000 pounds of food.
"If you're not going to be home, you can set it out any day next week," Estrella said. "We'll be sure to get it down to the food bank."
They can also take monetary donations either cash in an envelope or a check as long as its clearly marked for the Reno County Food Bank.
