The "Scouting for Food" program is underway this week. Scouts are distributing door hangers throughout the state. Here in Summit County, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be collecting thousands of donated items on Saturday, March 21, and delivering them to our local food banks.
If you have received a door hanger, please have your donations placed out by 9 a.m. on Saturday. Try to have it in a visible and easily accessed location. Due to the size of Summit County and the limited number of Scouts, not every home will be canvassed. But you can still donate items any time to our local food banks. In Park City, food can be donated to the Christian Center of Park City. In Kamas and Coalville, you can donate to the Community Action Agencies.
Items of special need this year are: ready to eat meals (e.g., chili, stews, canned spaghetti); peanut butter; and baby foods. Of course soups, canned fruits and vegetables, pastas and tuna are always needed. Disposable diapers are also greatly appreciated.
