It’s a tradition that dates back to the early 1990s: residents leave non-perishable food donations at their mailboxes, and letter carriers pick them up for families in need.

Washtenaw County residents can set out bags full of nonperishable and shelf-stable food donations near their mailboxes this Saturday before their usual letter delivery time.

National Stamp Out Hunger campaign will collect donations throughout Washtenaw County on May 13.

On Saturday, Tree Town residents can leave non-perishable food items next to their mailboxes for postal workers to pick up.
