Greenwich Scouts invite community to help Scouting for Food 2007
The Black Wolf District of the Greenwich Council, BSA will again be conducting the Scouting for Food drive this March.
This is a great opportunity for all Scouts and the Greenwich community to do a good turn.
This annual canned food drive will help Neighbor to Neighbor, which serves the Greenwich area by providing clothing and food to those in need.
Scouting leaders have received Collection bags at their Roundtables.
Bags will be distributed around the unit’s neighborhood on Saturday, March 17. A flier inside the bag will inform the Greenwich community on when to place thier Collection bag filled with canned food items on their doorstep.
Scouts and leaders will be following the Youth Protection Guidelines in this project. All Scouts must go with a buddy. Cub Scouts must be accompanied by an adult. Under no circumstances should a Scout enter into someone’s home.
Filled Collection bags can also be dropped off at one of the following Fire Houses the morning of Saturday, March 24 after 9:00 a.m. These include Glenville Fire Department, Cos Cob Fire Department, Sound Beach Fire Department, and Byram Fire Department.
Bags should be dropped off no later than noon at the Firehouses.
Currently, Neighbor to Neighbor is in need of the following items: Canned fruit, Canned vegetables, Canned meat (stew, ravioli, chicken, ham, tuna), Pasta sauce, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta.
