Support Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive - Saturday, May 13, 2017

On Saturday, May 13, 2017, letter carriers represented by the National Association of Letter Carriers in conjunction with other postal employees and volunteers will participate in the 25th annual Stamp Out Hunger National Food Drive.

Across Ossining, letter carriers will collect non-perishable food donations left by mailboxes and in the post office and deliver them to the Ossining Food Pantry. All food items will go directly to the Food Pantry clients during Thursday evening and Friday morning distribution at Trinity Church, as well as to our local day care centers and the homebound needy.

Martin B. Engelhardt, Jr., President of the Ossining Food Pantry states: "We are most grateful for the work to be done by the letter carriers and other post office personnel to bring the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive to the Ossining area. The Food Pantry's client list continues to increase and this is a wonderful way to supplement our resources so we may better serve those in need."

The Ossining Food Pantry helps over 400 people each week. The Pantry serves a large cross-section of residents from the Greater Ossining area including single individuals, couples, parents with children, senior citizens, the unemployed, the under-employed, veterans, the sick who cannot work and the well who cannot make ends meet under current circumstances. The Ossining Food Pantry is a 100% volunteer-run organization with no paid staff. The Pantry relies on the hard work of volunteers and donations from the community.

The Food Pantry is always in need of nonperishable food items. If you would like to arrange a food drive with your organization, please call the Pantry office at 914-762-5510 and leave a voicemail message. A volunteer will return the call to give you specifics on what foods are needed and how to arrange delivery of the food to Trinity Church in Ossining.
