Stamp Out Hunger Brings 11,000 Lbs. of Food to Franklin Food Pantry
Volunteers carefully check expiration dates of donated items.
On Saturday, May 11, 2024, Franklin, Massachusetts letter carriers participated in the annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive to benefit the Franklin Food Pantry. More than 11,000 pounds of food was collected from Franklin residents, which equates to more than 9,000 meals.
The Pantry extends its gratitude to the letter carriers who filled their truck with the much-needed food. Thank you to the generous residents of Franklin, the committed volunteers who sorted and restocked the food, Stop & Shop in Franklin for lending grocery carts to easily transport the food, the extra support from Jim Sierra, and the Franklin Senior Center for providing the extra space to collect, check, and sort the food.
