Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive set for Saturday

The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is slated for Saturday.

Clark County residents can leave nonperishable food donations near their mailboxes by 9 a.m., and letter carriers or volunteers will do the rest.

While Stamp Out Hunger is a nationwide event, donations made in Clark County will benefit the Clark County Food Bank, local food pantries and area residents in need.

Organizers are still looking for volunteers to help letter carriers, especially those with pickups, trailers, SUVs or other vehicles that can collect food donations along carrier routes.

Volunteer shifts are flexible and run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Orientation will begin at 10 a.m. at the U.S. Postal Service office at 2700 Caples Ave., Vancouver.

Those looking to help in other ways can mail a check to the County Food Bank/Stamp Out Hunger, 6402 N.E. 47th Ave., Vancouver. Food donations can also be dropped off at the food bank.

Or donate online at clarkcountyfoodbank.org/stamp-out-hunger.

For more information, contact Don Young at 360-904-697 or postal44@comcast.net.
