Scouting for Food:
Look for Door Hanger & Prepare Donation
Look for Door Hanger & Prepare Donation
On Saturday, October
28, thousands of Scouts from across the state will be distributing door
hangers to homes asking for donations of healthy, non-perishable food in the
Food Bank’s biggest food drive of the year. As they’ve done for thirty years,
the Scouts will return the following Saturday, November 4 starting at 9
a.m.to pick up donations. We need your help to ensure that we have healthy
food for our neighbors in need this holiday season. If the Scouts don’t
canvass you neighborhood, please consider making an online donation.
