Scouting For Food, Saturday, February 13 and 20, 2010

Scouting for Food is the Sam Houston Area Council’s annual “Good Turn” project to help collect food for the needy families in our communities through the “Souper Bowl of Caring" benefiting a local Food Food Bank.

On February 13th, Scouts distribute Scouting for Food door hangers to homes in our area. This announces Scouting for Food to the home owner and helps them prepare for the collection day. On February 20th, Scouts return to the homes and pick up the food. The food is then brought to a local Food Bank.

Meet at Heritage Elementary on East Blvd., North Parking Lot at 8:30 a.m. on February 13th and at 9:00 a.m. on February 20th. Wear Class A shirts.

For more information, or to sign up, contact Brenda Mills.
