Scouting For Food

We all know that little boys eat--ALOT!!  Unfortunately, some families have to choose between food and other necessities.  Pack 118 is going to help.  We are holding our first annual Scouting For Food food drive.  From now until our April 15th pack meeting, boys are asked to distribute the specially marked bags (these were given to everyone this past week, except for the Tigers who will get them Tuesday) to family, friends, neighbors, parents coworkers, teachers, etc.  Our hope is that these people will fill these bags with foods we can donate to the Sharing Cupboard food pantry right here in West Brookfield.  Boys should collect the filled bags back before the 15th and bring them to our pack meeting that night.  At the meeting the boys will sort the food and box it up for delivery to the food pantry.  Our goal is 200 bags!  We will have a pizza party for the boys in celebration of a job well done.  

The pantry is in great need of:

Cans of Coffee
bottles of juice
any kind of crackers
any flavor of jelly
boxed pasta other than elbows and spaghetti

Please remember that all donations must be non perishable and should not be expired.  We will have to throw away any expired donations.  

Let's all work together to help those in our community!
