Boy Scouts
Organize Food Drive to Benefit Local Food Pantries
In the spirit of the Boy
Scouts of America promise, “to do a good turn daily” and “to
help other people at all times,” the Erie Shores Council of
the Boy Scouts of America will organize their annual
“Scouting for Food” non-perishable item food drive in Lucas
County (Ohio) during the week of March 30-April 6, 2019.
Scouting for Food is the Boy Scouts of America’s longest
running nation-wide service project to help stop hunger. It
began as one Scout’s service project in St. Louis, MO in
1985 and was nationally adopted in 1988.
Over 150 units comprised of Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout
Troops, Exploring Posts, and Venture Crews located in Lucas
County will distribute informational tags by March 30th.
The tags will include the local unit serving your area and a
list of acceptable donation items. Lucas County residents
are asked to leave their donation on their front porch by
9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 6, 2019. The items will be
picked up and delivered to food pantries and shelters
located in Lucas County.
Scouting for Food is supported by Frisch’s® Big Boy®
Restaurants of NW Ohio and also Keystone Press.
The week of March 30-April 6, 2019 non-perishable food items
can be dropped off at the Lucas County locations of
Frisch’s® Big Boy® Restaurants including: W Alexis Road,
Secor Road, and South Reynolds Road.
