Did you know that 1 in 7 neighbors in our tristate area is at risk of hunger? To support the cause, Scouts are collecting food in your neighborhood for local Freestore Foodbank agencies & affiliated pantries with Scouting for Food.
Scouting for Food is our community-wide service project that collects food for those in need across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky sponsored by Skyline Chili.
Watch out for a flyer on November 6, then put out food on November 13 for Scouts to collect at your doorstep!
Units, don't forget to pick up your flyers at the Scout Achievement Center!
