Thanks for raising 35,031 pounds of food this year!
The date for the next letter carriers food drive is Saturday May 9th, 2026!
It’s the biggest food drive for Hoosier Hills Food Bank and the easiest way to give! Just set a or hang a bag of food on or near your mailbox and volunteers and Letter Carriers will pick it up! Please help us make this year bigger than ever!
Many thanks to all of the letter carriers who helped collect the food, as well as volunteers who have helped us sort the food in May and June. Their hard work helped us distribute the food to our member agencies quickly
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Not a day off for Bloomington residents. Each year, community members spend the day volunteering at Hoosier Hills Food Bank and other agencies around Bloomington.
Following Dr. King’s example, we take the holiday created in his honor to answer, “life’s most persistent and urgent question; what are you doing for others?” Despite the cold weather and icy conditions, 65 individuals came out to volunteer at our warehouse and neighborhood pantry this MLK Day 2025. This includes our dedicated weekly Monday volunteers, people from the Slotegraaf-Niehoff Law Firm, the Christian Student Fellowship, the FaithLed Fellowship, and the National Association of Colored Women’s Club (NACWC).
They spent the day helping with repacking pasta from 2000-pound bins into 2-pound bags, packing boxes of food with 24 shelf stable items for our CSFP Senior Box program, and helping run one of our Families First Neighborhood pantries. By the end of the day, they packed more than 400 CSFP Senior Boxes, repackaged 300 bags of pasta, and served 139 households. Their hard work amassed a total of 103.5 volunteer hours!
