Scouting For Food Starts This Saturday

The Boy and Cub Scouts need your help and it couldn’t be easier. This Saturday you’ll find plastic grocery store bags at your door. All you need to do is keep it for a week. Then early next Saturday, November 13, 2010 place it outside your door with a non-perishable food donation.
Manna reports that last year, the Scouts collected 70,000 pounds of food! The hard work of these boys helped to restock Manna’s shelves and provide food to Montgomery County families in need.
This will be my 8th year of collecting food with my Cub Scouts at New Mark Commons and around Beall Elementary. My boys are so excited to run around and gather the food and know they are helping. I hope that no matter where you live in Rockville, you’ll remember to donate.
Wish list items to donate:
- peanut butter
- tuna fish
- canned fruits and vegetables
- shelf-stable milk
- canned tomato sauce
- beans
- macaroni and cheese
- soup
- cereal
- oatmeal
- rice
- pasta
- baby food
- other canned meat and fish and
canned pasta
Put these on your shopping list and please donate!
You can help too!!!
