Scouting For Food
It is not too late to sign up for Scouting for Food. We need volunteers to distribute these hang tags to their assigned neighborhood the weekend of 11/4 (or sometime before 11/7) and then drive back through those neighborhoods the morning of 11/11. Once you collect the donations, please get them to the American Legion no later than noon. If you finish early and want additional volunteer hours, we can use your help sorting food, weighing boxes and loading the truck at the Legion AND unloading the truck at HVCC after 1. This is not only a wonderful community service event, it also directly advertises Troop 20/20 to every house we can reach. More volunteers equals more outreach.
Please reach out to Emily Westerberg with any questions or to sign up for a route (be sure to copy a parent on your email or text). emilywesterberg@gmail.com or 860-214-1109
Materials will be distributed at the 11/2 Troop meeting. If you cannot be there, we can make alternative arrangements.
