Scouting Food Drive 2024
Hello everyone! My Boy Scout Troop is organizing a food drive during the month of April to assist local charities that combat hunger in our community. We are collecting non-perishable, sealed food items such as pasta, sauces, canned vegetables, cereal, and canned soup. We are also collecting personal dignity items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Please help my Troop serve our neediest neighbors by donating whatever you can in the “Boy Scout Food Drive” bins located on the stage in the parish hall. Bins will be out through the end of April. THANK YOU for your help! — Christian Carbonaro, Life Scout, Troop 332
