Scouting for Food 2020!

Date: March 28, 2020
 
This year’s Scouting for Food takes place on March 28. This is the council’s largest service project and it brings in over 34,000 pounds every year to help the area food banks. That equals over 15 tons of food that lasts between 3 and 6 months! We have been doing this project since 1990.

When and Where do I get Door Hangers?
Door hangers will be distributed at your district’s March roundtable. After the March roundtable, the door hangers will be available for pickup at the Scout Service Center.

What can be collected?
Scouting for Food can collect more than just food. It is a drive for non-perishable items and could also include toiletries. Another common gift to Scouting for Food is money. Anything collected (food, toiletries, money, etc.) should be turned in at a collection point.

What items are most needed?

  • Peanut Butter
  • Jelly
  • Canned Fruit
  • Pasta
  • Sauces
  • Soups
  • Canned or Boxed Potatoes
  • Personal Care Items
  • NO GLASS or PERISHABLE items please!

What else can we do to help?
In addition to helping put out door hangers and doing the collecting, we want your help in promoting the event! Share the information with everyone you know! Share the event on social media!

Our Scouts love when they get to pick up bags of food for this food drive! Help spread the word so they won’t be disappointed!
