Boy Scouts need your help collecting food.
Boy scouts have started their Scouting for Food Drive. They will be collecting non-perishable food items that will go to local pantries.
The efforts of scouting groups in Matinecock district (Commack, Huntington, Hauppauge and Smithtown) will culminate on Saturday March 19th when scout units will bring the food they collect to John Glenn High School on Elwood Road, East Northport between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. At that time scouts and other volunteers will sort what was
collected over the last few months and packaged it for distribution to local
food pantries. This is the 29th consecutive year local scouts have joined
with scouts across the USA collecting non-perishable food items to share
with their neighbors in need. It is one of scouting’s finest hours as hundreds of youths work to make a difference in their communities. Please help them by, when you see them or if you know a scout, donating non-perishable food items to this worthy cause. Help them make a difference today and to learn skills they can use to help others tomorrow.
Many thanks go to our neighbors who have already given and to the volunteers helping in this effort. For more information please contact the local Scouting for Food Coordinator Don Ghee at 646-483-5900 or District
Executive Liz Jumper at 631-924-7000, Ext. 131.
