On Saturday the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Campbell Soup Company will team up on the country’s largest one-day food drive, Stamp Out Hunger. They’re asking people to put bags of nonperishable items next to their mailboxes, which mail carriers will pick up and deliver to a local food bank (in Chicago it’ll be the Greater Chicago Food Depository). People can also donate online.
