The National Association of Letter Carriers will conduct their food drive on Saturday, May 14th. Letter carriers across our community, state and nation will collectively work together gathering non-perishable food donations left at the mailbox during their mail routes. All food is then distributed to the local food bank or pantry.

We are happy to have this event back. It is the largest one day food drive that is held for the Kansas Food Bank.

Be sure and watch for a special postcard in your mailbox announcing the food drive. Then on Saturday, May 14th, leave your non-perishable food donations our for your letter carrier to pick up and bring back to the Kansas Food Bank. We appreciate all the hard work that goes into making this happen. Be sure and thank your letter carrier when you see him or her!

Now through May 15th, Walmart and Sam’s Club locations are encouraging everyone to get involved in the Fight Hunger Spark Change campaign. Select items will trigger an automatic donation to your Kansas Food Bank. Customers can also donate at the register to fight hunger.

In addition to Fight Hunger Spark Change, Walmart and Sam’s Club supports our mission year round through the grocery rescue program. Learn more and hear stories of hope at the links below from our partner agencies across our 85 county service area.

Team KFB set said at the Hutton Boat Regatta. Our goal was to build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape that we could race across the pool without sinking or throwing our crew overboard.

We were among ten other local non-profits invited to participate in the brand new Maize Aquatic Center. Check out the cardboard boat races and see how we did!
