Food Bank Open House for Scouts

We are planning on attending the Food Bank Open House for Scouts.  This is a terrific event that was attended by a few scouts from Pack 380 last year.  Check out this link to see a slide show from the event last year.

What:  Food Bank Open House for Scouts

When: October 20 (Saturday) from 230pm to 4pm

Where: Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano at 4010 Nelson Avenue, Concord

Go see how the Food Bank works and gear up for Scouting for Food!

At this event, you will get a behind the scene look at the Food Bank.  The day will include a tour, educational and craft activities, and an opportunity to experience being a Food Bank volunteer be sorting and boxing produce.  I think last year we were able to sort plums.  All age levels are welcome to participate.

Community service is an important part of being a Cub Scout.  Scouts will learn how their "Scouting for Food" donations help the Food Bank fight hunger in their communities.  The Food Bank is requesting that each Scout bring a can of tune to kick-off this year's food drive to this event.
