Scouting for Food annual food drives
On October 20th, the Boy Scouts dropped off Scouting
for Food bags for you to fill with non-perishable food items. The
Boy Scouts came back on October 27 to pick up the bags and take them to
local Kroger stores, where Food
Bank volunteers helped to collect nearly 10,000 lbs. of food.
Local businesses are participating in the
Work Site campaign by collecting food or monetary donations for the Food
Bank. The efforts of all the participating companies were tremedous, generating over 30,000 lbs. of food and more than $17,000.
Health Care REIT was the leader in the Work Site food drive, giving over 3,600 lbs. of food and more than $10,000 in monetary donations. Thank you, Health Care REIT, for working so diligently with us to end hunger in Northwest Ohio!
