Scouts collect food
The Louisiana Purchase Council of the Boy Scouts of America teamed up with Girl Scouts-Pines to the Gulf for this year's 21st annual Scouting for Food Drive.
The event is being held Nov. 1-8.
Scouts throughout northeast Louisiana delivered paper bags Saturday, Nov. 1. Residents have been asked to fill the bags with canned food items and place them on their porches by 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, for pick-up.
Food will be distributed through Food Bank of Northeast Louisiana, Salvation Army, The Good Samaritan in Winnsboro and dozens of rural food pantries throughout 20 parishes.
Bancroft Bag is the bag sponsor. Mac's Fresh Market and Capital One Bank agreed to allow Scouts to place boxes in certain locations through the end of the food drive.
This year, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts hope to exceed more than 85,000 pounds of food collected.
"The Scouting Food Drive not only provides food for the hungry in northeast Louisiana, but it also teaches the Scouts about giving back to the community," said David Sorrell, Scout executive of the Louisiana Purchase Council.
Additional food drive sponsors include Georgia-Pacific, Krafted Solutions, Graphic Packaging, Gulf South Warehouse, Kapstone, KNOE-TV8, McDonald's and The Radio People.
For more information, call the Boy Scouts Service Center at 325-4634 or the Girl Scouts Service Center at 325-2691. |
