"SCOUTING FOR FOOD" AIDS LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES



Scouts and volunteer leaders from across the entire Iroquois Trail Council participated in the 28th annual "Scouting for Food" drive in November. The food collected is distributed to numerous emergency and crisis type agencies. All food collected in a district was distributed locally to agencies in that particular county.

The Council typically collects 30,000 food items per year.

As examples of how amazing this year's drive was, look at these totals from just a few of our units...

Troop 59 and Pack 62 were working together to cover the Clarendon/Holley area and delivered 1133 pieces of food items to the Eastern Orleans County Community Center in Holley.

Troop and Pack 4077 collected, sorted and donated 1100 food items to the Nunda food pantry.
