Boy Scouts’ ‘Scouting For Food’ drive is this Saturday

More than one million “Scouting For Food” bags were delivered last weekend. The Boy Scouts are asking residents to leave the bags filled with canned goods on their doorsteps by 9 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 18 for pickup.

Some recommended items for donation are canned fruits, vegetables, soups, tuna, chicken and pasta sauce, and meals in a box, such as Hamburger Helper.

Residents whose bags are missed Saturday can call 800-392-0895 in Missouri and 618-234-9111 in Illinois. Residents who did not receive a bag can take canned food donations to any Goodwill store location from Nov. 19-25. Information: sff.stlbsa.org.
