The 34th Annual Letter Carriers' Food Drive is Saturday, May 9, 2026. Great Rivers United Way is recruiting collection site volunteers to unload, weigh, sort, and re-load donations into trucks for delivery to our food program partners. This work happens at the Post Office in Downtown La Crosse; however, there can be a situation where we would request a volunteer to meet a Letter Carrier in a location and load donations into their vehicle for transportation back to the Post Office.
We are also currently working out whether or not we will have a southside drop off location for Letter Carriers. If this is the case, there would be further communication on where to report to. As of right now, we are operating all of this out of the Post Office on 425 State Street, La Crosse WI.
You can volunteer all day (from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) or for one of three shifts: mid morning – 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; afternoon – 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.; or early evening – 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Lunch will be provided from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.
This event is rain or shine.
If you have questions regarding this volunteer opportunity, please contact Connor Glassen at (608) 796-1400, ext. 107, or cglassen@gruw.org.
