Send your food Saturday!This Saturday presents one of the easiest and most effective ways to help combat hunger: Simply put your non-perishable food items in a bag out with the mail and let your letter carrier take care of the rest.

Participate in the 15th annual National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive, the largest one-day food donation in the country. Carriers and volunteers will collect food in more than 10,000 communities in all 50 states and deliver to food banks, pantries and shelters in the communities where the donations are collected. All food donated in Oregon benefits the Oregon Food Bank Network.

Last year carriers netted 70.5 million pounds of food, the third consecutive year they've collected more than 70 million pounds. Since 1993, the drive has collected more than 765.5 million pounds of food to help hungry families.

Non-perishable foods might include canned meat, fish and soup, and boxed cereal, pasta and rice, among other items.
