National Letter Carriers Food Drive

The First Congregational Church of Revere Food Pantry has been serving food-insecure families of Revere since 1983. We are an emergency food pantry and distribute groceries to around 1,000 families per month. We buy groceries at reduced cost from The Greater Boston Food Bank and rely heavily on food drives that several organizations run for us during the year.

One of the major sources of food for our food pantry is the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive (Stamp Out Hunger), which will be held this year on Saturday, May 9. Letter carriers pick up donated nonperishable food from customers along their route and deliver the food directly to our food pantry. Many families in our own community are finding it difficult to put food on the table and are turning to local food pantries such as ours. Food donations can also be dropped off directly at the church from 2-6 p.m. on May 9. Your donations to the Postal Food Drive will have positive impact on the fight against hunger here in Revere.
