Our troop will be holding a monthly food drive to supports the churches food bank. The church is very kind to our troop and we can give back to them in this way. Every second thursday (troop meeting) scouts should bring in food for the drive. The food item will be specific to the churches request. Next Thursday, Oct 13, the church would like us to collect caned tuna. No expired foods and the cans should have minimal dents in them to no dents at all.
