FRANKLIN, MA — On Saturday, May 9, the Franklin Letter Carriers collected approximately 10,000 pounds of food and household essentials during the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Despite rain, residents across Franklin filled bags with donations, providing the equivalent of 8,300 meals to help support neighbors experiencing food insecurity. The town-wide outpouring of support comes as the need for food assistance has reached an all-time high.  

For households who missed the drive but still wish to participate, The Pantry accepts donations at their 341 W Central St. location. Items can be placed in the purple bin on the loading dock at the back of the building. Supporters can shop and send donations directly through The Pantry’s Amazon Wish List, and monetary donations can be made on The Pantry’s website. 

Stamp Out Hunger 2027 is scheduled for Saturday, May 8, 2027, rain or shine! For more information the Franklin Food Pantry, please visit www.franklinfoodpantry.org.
