Scouting for food soup can

Scouting for Food is coming!

The Northern Trails Scouting for Food drive is coming up on March 28th. Your unit will be able to participate in any (or all) of three service opportunities:

  • Neighborhood flyer distribution and collection
    • Pick up flyers at Roundtable for distribution in your neighborhoods
    • Distribute the flyers at least one week before Scouting for Food day
    • Pick up donations from your neighborhoods and deliver to the food bank
  • Supermarket collection
    • We have made arrangements for collecting food at many local supermarkets
    • Stand outside with shopping lists (and a smile)
    • Bring the donated food to the food bank
  • Food Bank sorting
    • We have a very limited number of slots for units to unload and sort food at the food bank
      • Check expiration dates for neighborhood collected food
      • Sort and shelve donations as they come in

Neighborhood collections will occur on the morning of Saturday, March 28th. Supermarket collections will start on Friday, March 27th and continue on March 28th.
