Each year, the Boy Scouts of America celebrates its anniversary in February by giving back to the community through the Scouting for Food campaign. On Saturday, February 1st, Scouts from the eight counties of the Old North State Council distributed door hangers to homes across the region and ask that you fill a grocery bag from home with non-perishable food. They will return Saturday, February 8th to pick up bags of food. All donations will be collected and taken to local food pantries, churches, shelters for the homeless, and other agencies that feed those in need.
Please donate non-perishable food only, and do not include any glass containers.
The need for food throughout the community places a strain on food banks, which play a vital role in making food available. We can all work together to provide food to families across the Triad community.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What do I do if my donations are still on my porch after Saturday, February 8th?
The Boy Scouts work very hard to make sure they return to collect donations where they left door hangers, but it is possible that a few homes may be missed on pickup day. Please call the number below, and the scouts will arrange for pickup. Every donation counts!
