Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive
Stay tuned for information on Stamp Out Hunger in 2026.
United Way of York County, SC partners with local post offices (Rock Hill’s Wilson/Main and Ebenezer Branches and more) to connect with food banks that need help replenishing their shelves. In 2019, York County residents generously donated a record 23,000 pounds of food! We’ve done well in years since, but we’d love to hit that number again. In order to do that though, we need your help!
To participate, simply place food items by your mailbox on that Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend and your letter carrier will pick up the goods and deliver them to local food pantries. Salvation Army, Hope of Rock Hill, Love N Cherish, and Pilgrims Inn are just some of the agencies that will receive the donations.
