Scouting For Food 2021

Gleaners Community Food Bank is teaming up with the Boy Scouts of America–Great Lakes Field Service Council for its annual Scouting for Food on November 13th.

This event is the Boy Scouts of America’s largest service project of the year. In lieu of bags, flyer distribution will be on Saturday, November 6th. We ask that you please use recycled bags for donating non-perishable food.

To participate, please leave non-perishable food items on your porch Saturday, November 13th by 9am. The Scouts will be collecting food starting at 9am until 2pm in Wayne, Macomb & Oakland counties.

Suggested items to donate:

• Canned chicken, canned tuna, canned salmon

• Peanut Butter

• Canned fruit

• Canned vegetables

• Canned pasta sauce

• Dry pasta or rice

• Oatmeal

**Please no glass jars

While we work hard to make sure no food donation is missed, our volunteers do occasionally encounter unexpected circumstances that may prevent them from picking up your donation. In this event, please consider delivering your donation to a Gleaners partner pantry nearest you. Visit https://pantrynet.org/ for more information.

Thank you for your continued support!
