The U.S. Postal Service will collect non-perishable canned, bagged and boxed food Saturday as part of their "Stamp out Hunger" campaign.

Donors should leave food donations next to their mailbox for postal carriers to collect. After sorting, the donations will be delivered to the Central Virginia Foodbank.

Frozen or fresh food and items in glass containers will not be accepted.

"This food drive helps to restock depleted shelves at a time when it is critically needed," Fran Sanso, regional communications coordinator for the Postal Service, said in a news release.

During the 2007 campaign, the postal service collected 100,000 pounds locally and more than 70 million pounds nationwide. The Stamp out Hunger food drive began in 1993 and since then, more than 836.2 million pounds of food have been collected.
