This is what thousands of people in Peabody and Salem face every day.The Haven from Hunger is the critical link between food and people. We provide food to nearly 200 people a week.Hunger impacts people in all walks of life. We reach them all – from working families to senior citizens. This year, we are on track to distribute more than 2 million pounds of food to meet an ever-growing need in our community.

 

Over 17 Tons of Food

On Saturday May 12, at the Haven from Hunger, the Post Office conducted its annual "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive. Over 250 postal workers and volunteers on the North Shore collected and sorted over 34,000 pounds of food, canned goods and non-perishable items. There are many more families that need our help this year, we really appreciate all who generously donated. The Board of Directors and Executive Director, Alyse Barbash, wish to thank all of the Post Office Workers and Volunteers, who helped make this Event a huge Success.
