Scouting for Food is an annual event organized by the National Capital Area Council for collecting food for those in need to be distributed by the Capital Area Food Bank. On November 2nd, Cub Scout Packs 16 and 1346 will be delivering bags in our neighborhoods. Please consider filling them with nonperishable food items to share with the nearly 700,000 people in our area who go hungry. Here is a link listing the most needed items:

Then place the bag outside your door by 9:00 a.m. on the morning of November 9th. Boy Scouts from Troop 1346 will be coming by to pick up the bags and deliver them to the Burke Centre Parkway Safeway to be taken to the food bank. Scouting for Food has been helping those in need for the past 25 years-won’t you join us this year?
