Pomperaug District - Scouting for Food Posted Mar. 8, 2010
SCOUTING FOR FOOD

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Join the Pomperaug District in fighting hunger in our area. The annual Scouting For Food Drive collection will be on Saturday, May 1. Simply drop off collection bags at houses in your neighborhood a week in advance, and return to pick-up the filled bags on Saturday, May 1. Alternatively, or in addition to neighborhood collections, your unit might set-up at entrances to a local supermarket. As people enter, ask them to purchase non-perishable food items and give them to you on their way out. Collection sights where donated can be dropped off on May 1 will be announced. Collection bags will be available at the March and April Roundtables, and at the Council Service Center. For more information about Scouting For Food contact Larry Scinto at 203-732-4192 or ljscinto9316@sbcglobal.net.
