Please Participate in Scouting for Food, it is the most important thing we can do as Scouters

The Scouting for Food Pickup date is advertised as November 21st. It's not too late to hand out door hangers and bags before hand.

Need is greater than ever this year, and several organizations would close down without Scouting For Food. If you had any doubts about whether or not to participate, the answer should be yes! Even handing out just a few door hangers in town in replace of a pack, den, or troop meeting can have a big impact for the organizations in your area.

Our door hangers are not dated. If your unit can not hand out before the 21st and can not collect on the 21st, please consider organizing a date and time that works for your unit and still participating in Scouting for Food.

Contact Devon Hubner <devon.hubner@downeastdistrict.org> 207-807-5130 for door hangers and agency information.

 

Please fill out our electronic signup form so that we know how many door hangers you need and which community organization you will be delivering food to:
