Food Drive

Every year Pack 711 does a food drive for the Food Pantry at St. Elizabeth Catholic Church. Many years we are able to collect donations of over 800 lbs. of food!

Fall 2024 Food Drive

Dates

• 11/2 - 11/3, 2025: Bags distributed at Den meetings.

• 11/8/2025: Porch pickup of bags and drop-off at the food pantry.

Step 1: Bag Distribution

We’ll be distributing bags for food donations at den meetings. Each family is invited to take some bags home and distribute them to friends & family and/or drop them off on porches in your neighborhood. Each bag will have instructions attached to it stating that it can be filled with food to donate and left on the porch to be picked up on Saturday morning (or you can coordinate individually with family/friends). You may take as few or as many bags as you want to distribute.

Step 2: Donation Pickup

On Saturday morning make sure to pick up any donations from family/friends and check for any left out on the porches of houses where you left a bag. We’ll then meet up at St. Elizabeth at 9:30am to gather the food and bring it to the food pantry.

A couple of notes:

• If you put bags out in your neighborhood, we recommend focusing on the areas near your house and neighbors you know.

• Wear your scout uniform when doing drop-off/pickup.

• Always have an adult accompany the scouts.

• Skip houses with “no solicitation” signs.
