Scouting For Food For Catholic Charities and Scouts Update #7322
The 49th Annual Scouting for Food is happening now, sponsored by Scouting #7322. In this season of servicing others, through gifts of time and contribution, we need help to gather the food items needed on the list below. Bring your bags full to St. Albert the Great by December 15, 2024, or take perishable items directly to Catholic Charities. Together we can make an impact in feeding families who don’t have enough this Christmas.
