Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive : ウィキペディア英語版 | Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is a charitable initiative conducted by the National Association of Letter Carriers in the United States to make significant donations of food to organizations serving needy persons. ==History== The Stamp out Hunger Food Drive started in October 1991 as a pilot program, the initial drive taking place in ten cities across the country. After receiving input from food banks and pantries, The National Association of Letter Carriers decided that the best time of year for this food drive to take place would be in the late spring. Most food banks start running out of food this time of year due to the largest donations being made around Thanksgiving and Christmas. A revamped food drive was organized for May 15, 1993, which was the second Saturday in May. The goal for the organization was to have at least one branch of the National Association of Letter Carriers participate from all 50 states. The first year of the nationwide effort collected over 11 million pounds of food, which was a one-day record in the United States, and with more than 220 union branches covering more than 1,000 communities participating.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unitedway.org/blog/entry/stamp-out-hunger-food-drive/ )〕 In 2010, 77.1 million pounds of food were collected, which helped the food drive surpass the 1 billion pound mark in total food collected over its history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nalc.org/commun/foodrive/history.html )〕
