Local Scouts Give Back this Spring
|

Thank you to local Boy Scout Michael Price (pictured at right), with troop 777, who earned his “Citizenship in the Community Badge" by facilitating a “Personal Care Items” drive for CRC! Participants who utilize the Food Distribution Center also get to choose two personal care items each week that they shop. Michael organized the drive and developed a flyer, which he delivered to 80 homes. He then collected over 50 full size items and delivered them all to CRC.
