On May 9 2026, Wise came together with American Solutions for Business (ASB, Glenwood, MN) to support the country’s largest one-day food drive, Stamp Out Hunger.
Hosted annually by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), Stamp Out Hunger has been going since 1983 and is the largest single-day food drive in the nation. It has since continued to feed millions of Americans every year. Mail carriers picked up food donations from mailboxes across the community, delivering nearly 40,000 lbs. of food to the local food bank.
For the food drive, Wise donated 35,000 4″ x 4″ food bag labels with rounded corners and permanent adhesive that ensured that they’d stick through multiple handlings and weather exposure.
School kids from Groves Academy (St. Louis Park, MN) applied these labels to collection bags and distributed them through the mail. On May 9, mail carriers picked up the filled bags while on their regular routes. When their trucks were full, they dropped off food at satellite locations throughout the community, including schools, churches, and grocery store parking lots. Volunteers (scouts, church members, and families) helped unload the trucks at each site. Once the collection crates were full, the ICA Foodshelf truck picked up the food.
It’s a well-coordinated effort that happens every year, and this year’s results are needed more than ever. The local food bank has experienced a significant increase in requests for food assistance.
Big thanks to the mail carriers, school kids, volunteers, and families who made this year’s drive such a success.
