GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2's Food 2 Families is teaming up with Scouting For Food to feed those in need in our community. The Boy Scouts just dropped off the Scouting For Food door hangers to various neighborhoods across the Triad. Here's what to do if you got one.
Fill up a bag of non-perishable food items and sit it out on your front porch or driveway. The Boy Scouts will pick up your donation by 9 am on Saturday, Feb. 13.
The Scouts will take all bags of food to local food pantries, churches, shelters for the homeless, and other places to help those who can't afford to buy food.
This chapter of the scouts covers seven Triad counties for the food drive. Last year, they collected 47,000 pounds of food to help people in need.
If you place food out and it doesn't get picked up, you can call the Old North State Council chapter of the scouts at (336) 378-9166.
What if you didn't get a door hanger?
You can still participate! Take your food donations to any of the following locations on Saturday, Feb. 13 between the hours of 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. Let the organization know you have a donation for Scouting for Food.
