Scouting for Food pickup is tomorrow

Pickup for the Boy Scouts' 2010 Scouting for Food Drive is tomorrow. While thousands of scouts will be hitting the streets and hustling up tons of food, you as donor have a much easier task. Simply fill the yellow bag they left on your door last week and leave it on the door. Do it tonight, as pickup starts at 9 a.m.
 
Among the food pantries to be stocked are four belonging to Garland charities, Good Samaritans, Friendship House, New Beginning Center and St. Michael's Catholic Church.
 
Scouts are looking for non-perishable canned, boxed or bagged items with a high nutritional value. Necessary food items include goods such as vegetables, meats, chili, soups, pasta, juices and baby formula. The Boy Scouts are unable to accept monetary donations as well as foods that are perishable, frozen or in glass containers.
 

 
Garland neighborhoods with have Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts walking the streets collecting food. I'll be helping the effort with Troop 57, my son's troop. I hope you'll take the chance to help these very worthwhile local charities. If you can't be home, put food in any sack, mark it "Scouting for Food," and leave it outside your front door. Your positive deed goes a long ways beyond just giving a bite to eat during these challenging times; it makes a very strong, lifetime impression on these young community members as to what kind of community we have.
 
So, instead of helping carry our groceries across the street, on Saturday morning the Scouts are willing to carry the load all the way to these various pantries!
