This Saturday morning, October 28th, local Boy Scouts will be walking door to door placing door hangers on neighborhood homes informing Aquidneck Island residents of Narragansett Council's 30th annual Scouting For Food Drive. Please place your donation of non-perishable, nutritious food in a bag or box with the tag attached on your doorstep the following Saturday, November 4th by 9am when scouts return to collect donations.
