Email request
Use the Email option on this page and ask Action Against Hunger to stop promotional postal mail. Include the full name and mailing address you want removed. Copy the template below, fill the bracketed fields, and attach a photo of the mailer if you have one.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Action Against Hunger:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Action Against Hunger permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including your internal house list and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Action Against Hunger. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Phone
Call Action Against Hunger at +1-212-967-7800. Ask them to stop fundraising mail for the name and address on the mailer.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. An appeal already labeled can still arrive.
- Receipts are separate. Stopping fundraising mail does not stop a donor receipt if you gave.
- A later list add-back can start it again. A later gift can put the address back on a file they mail or share.
Why Do You Receive Action Against Hunger Mail?
Action Against Hunger is a humanitarian organization that treats and prevents hunger. In 1979 a group of academics, doctors, and scientists founded it as Action Contre la Faim. They now reach 26.5 million people a year in more than 55 countries with about 8,500 staff. In 1993 their scientists developed F100, a therapeutic formula for severely malnourished children, and later Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food. They say 90 cents of every donated dollar goes to programs. The U.S. office is at One Whitehall Street in New York. The leftover mail is a fundraising appeal, not a receipt.
You get that mail if you donated, signed up, or landed on a list they share with other groups. They may share donor name and postal address. The leftover appeal is often an ask after you already gave.

DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Action Against Hunger as it is not an active member of the ANA.

OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Action Against Hunger mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Action Against Hunger marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Go to Action Against Hunger’s Privacy Policy page, or call +1-212-967-7800, and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of fundraising mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Action Against Hunger mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If an appeal arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Donor receipts can still arrive if you gave.
How do I stop Action Against Hunger mail for a previous resident?
Call Action Against Hunger at +1-212-967-7800 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Action Against Hunger mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
