Service Projects: Scouting for Food
|
|
Pack 77, Pack 36, Troops 1028/1029, and Troops 37/3711 are working together again this year to support the Scouting for Food food drive to benefit the local Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Due to the state of the economy, food supplies are running low and needs are high. This is truly our most widely beneficial community service project of the year and it really helps a lot of fine folks who are in often desperate need. To learn more about the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (the Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank is part of this overall organization), visit their website at: http://www.brafb.org
Key Scouting for Food Dates - 2022:
Door Hangers Out - Saturday November 5, 2022 - meet Captains to get your street assignments and hang door hangers either that day or make arrangements with Captains to get your hangers earlier to distribute at your convenience either Saturday or Sunday
Food Collection - Saturday November 12, 2022 - confirm your street assignments and collect food during the day to return to your Captain or drop off at Mr. Eric's house. The flyers ask that food donations be put out between 9:00 - 11:00am, but if you can, make a final sweep between 2:00-3:00pm to make sure we don't miss anything.
The neighborhoods we cover include Redfields, Sunset Overlook, Oak Hill Farm, Mosby Mountain, Oak Hill (behind 5th St County Office Building), Mill Creek, Mill Creek South, Lake Reynovia, Spring Hill Village, Avinity, Foxcroft, Willoughby, Dunlora, Fry's Spring, Johnson Village, and Whittington.
You can help in your neighborhood or any other neighborhood - just get street assignments from the Captain and cover those whenever you want.
Be sure to advertise on social media including neighborhood Facebook pages, email groups, and bulletin boards!
