Scouts Pick Up Food For Milford's Pantry In 'Scouting For Food'

MILFORD, MA—This one couldn't be easier. You're going grocery shopping anyway. You've got food in your cupboards anyway. Put some in a bag, leave it out, and help out a neighbor who needs it. You may not even be aware that your neighbors need it.

Scouting For Foodhas been a tradition for more than 20 years and is the largest food drive to benefit food pantries across the country.

In many towns and cities, on Saturday, Nov. 3, residents are asked to place items on their doorstep by 9 a.m. The Scouts will pick them up that morning.

The Boy, Girl and Cub Scouts of Milford are assisting the Daily Bread Food Pantry in Milford again this year by collecting items for its annual, seasonal food drive.

For those who wish to donate, on Saturday, Nov. 4, place your donation in a recycled box or bag by 9 a.m. Throughout the day, the scouts collect and deliver these donations to the food pantry.

If your donation was missed (not picked up by 3 p.m.), email milfordscoutingforfood@gmail.com with your address (location of your donation) and the Scouts return to pick it up.

The Daily Bread Food Pantry is located in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Milford, and is managed and operated by members of the church.
