Scouting for Food is one of nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts, and Venturing Crews participate in to support their local food pantries and hunger-relief agencies.
The food drive, which collects non-perishable items, provides much-needed resources to help fight hunger in our communities. One out of five children and one out of every twelve households with seniors go hungry in New Jersey and an estimated 900,000 people rely on food banks just to survive.
We are proud to share that over 17,497 pounds of food was collected in one day with over 582 hours of community service.
Thank you to all the units for your extraordinary efforts!
