Scouting For Food 

 
Adam Jr. & Adam Mayne Sr., Troop 1493

 

“Scouting for Food,” is Scouting’s community stewardship project aimed at addressing the problem of hunger in the community in which we live and work.

On Saturday, November 10, 2012, hundreds of Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Cub Scouts went door-to-door collecting bags filled with nonperishable food donations.

The donations have been coming through the door at Gleaners' Distribution centers. So far, just over 170,000 pounds have been delivered! That's enough to provide 127,500 hungry neighbors with a solid meal.

IF YOUR BAG WAS NOT COLLECTED

Scouting For Food is a huge initiative involving 5 counties and hundres of Scouts. With a project this big, we occasionally miss a food pick up. We apologize if your food was not picked up but hope you will take the time to drop off your donation to one of these locations:

• Any Art Van Furniture store – ArtVan is holding a food drive, through November 25 and will accept donations
• Weingartz locations in Clarkston, Utica or Farmington Hills.
• Locate a food pantry near you where you can drop off the food. Please go to www.pantrynet.org and click on the pantry locator on the left side of the screen. Type in your zip code and a radius and a list of local agencies will be provided. PLEASE CALL BEFORE DROPPING OFF YOUR FOOD DONATION.

 

Thank you for helping to feed our hungry neighbors!

If your community did not participate in Scouting for Food, you can also make a financial donation to help us provide food for our hungry neighbors.  Every dollar equals 3 meals!
