Every day, 190 families walk through the doors of God’s Storehouse looking for help feeding their children. That number is growing. And this May, you can do something about it — without even leaving your home. God’s Storehouse is partnering with the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) for the 35th Annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive — America’s largest single-day food drive — on Saturday, May 9, 2026.

Here’s all you need to do: Place unexpired, non-perishable food items next to your mailbox before your mail is delivered that morning. Your letter carrier will do the rest. (Please, no glass containers.)

God’s Storehouse is facing a perfect storm: rising food costs, reduced SNAP benefits, and fewer donations coming in — all while demand keeps climbing. We’re currently serving 190 families per day, up from 179 just last year. As summer approaches, donations from schools, faith groups, and individuals typically drop sharply, leaving shelves thin during some of the hardest months for local families. The food collected on May 9 directly stocks those shelves through the summer. Since its founding 35 years ago, Stamp Out Hunger has collected more than 1.9 billion pounds of food for struggling families across America. Last year, thousands of pounds were donated right here in the Danville community.

Not sure what to donate? God’s Storehouse is especially grateful for:
• Canned proteins (tuna, chicken, beans)
• Peanut butter
• Pasta and rice
• Canned fruits and vegetables
• Breakfast items (oatmeal, cereal)

This drive works because of people — postal workers, God’s Storehouse volunteers, and neighbors like you. God’s Storehouse volunteers will ride along postal routes to help collect donations and will work alongside postal staff to unload and sort food at the post office.

“We are so grateful to the postmasters and postal workers for carrying this extra load on our behalf,” said Karen Harris, Executive Director of God’s Storehouse. “And we’re grateful to every resident who sets out even one bag. That bag helps us keep our shelves stocked for a neighbor who has nowhere else to turn.”
