ICA Food Shelf is asking community members to consider participating in the 2022 Stamp Out Hunger® Food Drive.
This event is the country's largest one-day food drive. First started in 1983, it helps feed millions of Americans every year.
This year, the nationwide effort will take place on May 14, 2022.
Throughout the west metro area, postal carriers will drop off bags the week of the event, which are intended to be filled with nonperishable food items for ICA.
On May 14, mail carriers will pick up the donated food at your mailbox and bring it to ICA for our volunteers to sort.
If you forget to leave a bag at your house, please consider stopping by Cub Foods on Highway 101 to make a donation. ICA volunteers will be on-site from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 14 to accept nonperishable items.
This annual event is very important for stocking ICA's shelves in the summer months. In previous years, this event alone has resulted in over 60,000 pounds of food donated to ICA in one single day. That can provide groceries to around 2,000 of our neighbors.
