What do you get when you combine troops of Boy Scouts and a dozen committed volunteers?
Answer: A well-stocked Hope Center Pantry, of course!
Boy Scouts’ 36th Annual Food Drive
The Bay-Lakes Council Boy Scouts of America sponsored the 36th annual Scouting Food drive on Saturday, April 27. Here’s how the food drive worked. The scouts dropped off empty bags at homes in their neighborhood on April 20. The bags included a list of suggested food items to donate. Then, the Boy Scouts collected the food donations on the morning of April 27. They brought the nonperishable food to Lambeau Field to be distributed to pantries in Brown County. (Check out our 2021 Scouting for Food report.)
Pantry Volunteers Process the Food Donations
The Hope Center Pantry received three full totes of food. Twelve volunteers waited eagerly at the Pantry to help unload, sort, and store the food when it arrived. In 75 minutes, we had the job completed. The proverb “Many hands make light work!” is true.
Thanks to the Boy Scouts & Donors
Hope Center Pantry appreciates everyone who donated to Scouting for Food. Additionally, we thank the Boy Scouts for running food drive every year. With these food donations on our shelves, we can help the hungry in the Green Bay community.
