GET YOUR UNIT'S BAGS AT ROUNDTABLE, MARCH 3! (7:30PM St. Paul's UMC, Eaton) 

Scouting For Food is a yearly effort by Scouts all over the Miami Valley to collect needed food items for their local communities.  This year's drive is scheduled to take place on March 13 and March 20, 2009. 

On Saturday morning, March 13, participating Scouts will canvas residential doors with an empty plastic "Scouting For Food" bag.  Each resident that receives one of these bags is encouraged to fill the bag with items indicated on the bag and leave it on their doorstep by 9 am Saturday morning, March 20.  That morning Scouts will again hit the streets, collecting bags now filled with items to help the needy in their community.
