   If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Feed the Children:

   Hello,
   
   I'm writing to request that Feed the Children permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including lists you keep 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 Feed the Children.
   • This address is registered with the National Do Not Mail list (DMAchoice), so standard list hygiene should already be suppressing it.
   • 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]

How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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 Feed the Children mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.

3. 3

   PaperKarma

   For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
