Scouting for Food
|
Though the Scouts ramrod this event, countless community members join in
the effort. Like they say, "It takes a village."
It is truly inspiring how our community
rallies behind this project. Neighbors reaching out to help
neighbors.

This year we had an exceptionally cold time prepping for the
event and it was held at a new location.
Just about everyone was working outside this year.
We're all really glad it didn't snow on us. |

The process of filling the boxes begins. |
The boxes are filled to overflowing with lots of food items. |
Cases of oranges, apples, and onions must be divided up. |
Sons and fathers work as a team

By mid-afternoon when things slowed down, there was a group hug. |

HUMMMMMM. Looks like a box house was constructed prior to the
demolition.l

Everybody pitches in to help with cleanup.

AHHHH! Appreciating the warmth of the sunshine. |
Hauling away empty egg and milk crates.
Looks like we're about to lose one of those milk crates.
