Scouting for Food

The Cub Scouts of Pack 30 and Boy Scouts of Troop 30 of Eupora want to feed hungry people of our community, but we need your help to do so.

We ask any donations be placed in a highly visible place after 9 a.m. for pickup Dec. 8. If for any reason your bag is not picked up, call 258-4231 and someone will pick it up. We ask that you place food items such as canned soup, canned meats, fruits and peanut butter in your bag. We ask that nothing perishable or home-canned be included.

Please remember those that may go hungry without your help for there are those in our community who do not have the food that they need. Eupora has always supported the food driver in the past and the Scouts ask your continued support. May God bless you for helping during this Christmas season.
