Boy/Cub Scout "Scouting for Food" Collection Drive

On Saturday morning, February 23rd, the local Cub Scout Packs will be collecting non-perishable food items throughout Davis Islands and Hyde Park neighborhoods as part of its annual "Scouting for Food" event.  Boy Scouts left bags on house doors yesterday in these neighborhoods which can be used to hold the donated items.  For those residences who did not receive a bag, you can use your own bag/box for the Cub Scouts to collect on Saturday.  A collection box will also be available at the Publix on Bayshore in the next day or so if you would like to drop items there.  Please leave your items by your door early on Saturday morning to ensure pick-up by the Cub Scouts as they visit your neighborhood.

All food items collected will be donated to Metropolitan Ministries.  If you have any questions regarding the "Scouting for Food" event and item pick-up please contact Kevin Frye at 335-5104 or kevinfrye@aol.com.

The Boy and Cub Scouts appreciate your support in our "Scouting for Food" event.
