NHCO Collecting Safety Items for Seniors
Scouting for Food is a nationwide food
drive that assists local communities that are
food insecure. During the month of April,
local Boy Scouts distributed door hangers in
their neighborhoods to announce the
upcoming food drive. Scouts will return to
pick up donations and deliver them to local
food banks and pantries.
A Scout promises “to help other people at
all times.” Scouting for Food is the leading
service program for Boy Scouts of America
and is a part of the national BSA program
Good Turn for America. Support your
local Boy Scouts by participating in the
annual Scouting for Food drive! For more
information, visit LHC-BSA.org.
