Boy Scouts' 25th Annual "Scouting for Food" drive

Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in Southington are Collecting Donations for Local Food Banks.

Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from Southingtonare
collecting non-perishable food items on Saturday, November 9, 2013 from 9-11 am as part of
their 25th annual "Scouting for
Food" program to collect food for the needy.  If you received a bag or notice the week before that food
will be collected at your home, then please place a bag containing
nonperishable food items (cans or boxes, no glass containers, please) at your
mailbox or your front porch/step by 9:00 AM. 
The bags will be picked up before noon.   

If you did not receive a notice or missed the
pickup for your area, you may bring your food donations on November 9th between
9:00 AM and Noon to the local collection site. 
Boy Scouts will carry your donation from your car and sort the food by
categories.  All food collected will be
donated to a food bank in your town. 
Last year, over 700 Scouts in the 5 towns of the Sleeping Giant district
collected over 33,000 pounds of food.  The need this year is especially high.
