Stamp Out Hunger - Doorstep Food Collection

Calendar Happens On May 9, 2026
Time 9am - 12pm

Description

What: The Austin letter carriers are conducting a city wide food drive to help stock our local food shelf for the summer. Community members are asked to leave out nonperishable food items in a bag near their mailbox this Saturday, May 9th. 

Duties: As a volunteer, you will be assigned a sector in the area to drive around and collect food bags that people place out by their mailbox. Volunteers will then drop off any picked up items to the Salvation Army. 

  • 9:00am : Meet at the Austin Post Office for a debrief meeting and receive job assignments

  • 9:30am-11:30am: Drive around assigned area looking for food bags to pick up

  • 11:30-12:00pm: Drop off food at the Salvation Army

REQUIREMENTS: Having a car is a requirement.  You can drive yourself, drive with a group of friends or have parents drive you around. But you will need a way to transport yourself.  For this volunteer opportunity, we encourage more than 1 in a car. Bring a friend of both of you will receive credit. Just make sure you both sign up on Get Connected!
