I wanted to send everyone that participated in the Scouting for Food event a HUGE THANK YOU!
We collected 1042 pounds of food!!! We donated the food to the MCAS military food locker which helps support military families that struggle with putting food on the table (Generally for E4 and below).
Along with pack 625, we donated over 3000 lbs of food!!!!
I wanted to provide a breakdown of each den to ackowledge everyone's hard work:
Den 9- 381 lbs!!!!
Den 5- 180 lbs
Den 3- 115 lbs
Eagles -104 lbs
Scorpions-63 lbs
Den 4- 54 lbs
Den 8 - 21 lbs
Other- 124 lbs (pack 614 tigers (jerebek) and a boyscout troop 301 member)
Last but definately not least, Steve Thompson, was gracious to lend us one of his lovely and quite roomy, Stanley Steemer trucks to store and deliver the food in. It made things so nice and efficient on the delivery of the food.
A tip that I learned this year that will be an advantage for next year will be to knock on those doors if no food is left out. That seems to have worked very well from many that I heard from today.
All partcipating boys will recieve a patch for Scouting for Food.
Thanks,
Tanya
PS For those involved in the Disney event, I think I will be able to confirm your participation tomorrow--the site does not seem open yet for confirmations to be entered.
