We have the stats from Saturday’s 33rd annual Stamp Out Hunger Mail Carrier Food Drive! 
Drumroll, please 
…the Town’s mail carriers collected 26,000 lbs, or 13 tons, of non perishable donations! If you consider the weight of a male African elephant, these animals average 5.5 tons each. We collected almost 2 and a half elephants in donations!

We collected almost 2 and a half elephants in donations! The drive was an enormous success thanks to mail carrier Michael Capodicci, who once again organized everything for this year’s drive

Thanks to the Town of Fairfield and Fairfield First Selectperson Christine Vitale, who stopped by (on her birthday!) to issue a proclamation and help load a few bags. We are grateful to the many wonderful volunteers who pitched in – SASO Girls Fairfield, SASO Boys Fairfield, National Charity League Inc-Fairfield CT Chapter, Staples High School football team and many individuals. Everyone had so much fun that nobody even noticed the very wet conditions! We are deeply grateful to the Fairfield and Southport residents who left donations out over the weekend for their mail carriers. It takes a village to care for those most in need in our community and we all did that together on May 9 
Mark your calendar for the 34th annual Stamp Out Hunger Mail Carrier Food Drive on May 8, 2027!
