The Scouts of Tecumseh Council will collect food Saturday, March 18, to benefit food banks in and around Logan, Champaign, Clark, Greene and Clinton counties.
The annual Scouting for Food collection is an effort by packs and troops to fight hunger and is the largest one-day food drive in the country.
Bags have been distributed by Scouts and area residents are asked to fill them with current unopened non-perishable food items such as canned meats and fish, fruit juice, soups, baby formula, jello, pudding mixes, pasta, sauces, canned fruit, canned vegetables, baby cereal, powdered milk, peanut butter and hot or cold cereals.
In keeping with the values of Scouting, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Ventures devote themselves to community service. Along with year-round activities of crafts, outings, games, camping and projects,
Scouts seek to be of service to others.
