CUB SCOUT FOOD DRIVE: 2009 Holiday Food Drive Under
Way! Help End Local Hunger -- Our Holiday Food Drive is
in full swing and we need your help. In these tough economic
times we are seeing an unprecedented number of people seeking food
assistance, some for the very first time. Now more than ever our
services are needed to ensure that those being negatively affected by
the economic downturn and high food prices have access to the healthy
food they need to feed themselves and their families. We are
working hard to meet the rise in requests for our services and need the
help of our community to achieve our mission.
This week Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (Nov. 18-20) the Boy Scout
Troop 222 is assisting with the 2009 Second Harvest Food Drive.
Most needed items are: meals in a can (stew, chili, clam chowder,
and soups), peanut butter and jelly, 100% fruit juices or canned
fruits, canned vegetables, tuna/canned meat, low-sugar cereal, and cans
with pop top lids. Please do not donate items packaged in glass
or bulk quantities of rice, flour, or sugar.
If you would like to assist you will find the barrels at the end of the
building near the black top. If each child brings in one or two
items this would result in several hundred pounds of food. Thank
you for your support in advance.
