Scouting for Food information

April is Scouting for Food month!

This annual, and national, food drive benefits local food banks.

All food collected by Pack 661 goes directly to SHIM - South Hills Interfaith Ministries (www.shim-center.org).

We support this worthy cause through 2 mechanisms:

1) In Our Neighborhoods.
Bags were handed out at the March Pack Meeting. Cubs can deliver these to neighbors at any time and choose when to pick them up. A sample flyer to attach to the bags is here: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B5k0hBI_aOFRNWFmZGExNjktNjczOC00NWJhLTlkZjktNGJlNjk4MjVlZjFj&hl=en
Collected food can be delivered to Westminster on Sunday morning, April 25.


2) At Westminster Presbyterian Church
Complementing food drives already in place at Westminster, Cubs will hand out bags at services on Sunday April 18.
The following week, on Sunday April 25, Cubs will again be present to collect the donations from members of the Church.

** If you need bags for your neighborhood, please contact cubscouts661@verizon.net
** Cubs are still needed for the Church on both the 18th and 25th (cubscouts661@verizon.net)
