UPDATE: 2022 Scouting for Food Drive

 

Update: The bags have arrived and will be available at the Logan Scout office most mornings of the this week (Feb 7-11) You can also call Jason Eborn (208-847-5487) or Randy Hadfield (435-512-0960) to make arrangements to have them delivered to you, especially for outlying units.

It's time for the annual Scouting for Food drive. This year's drive will be on Saturday, February 12, 2022. Units may participate in several ways.

 Bags will soon be available for pickup at the Scout Service Center and scouts of all ages can distribute them during the week to neighbors, friends and family. Saturday they can collect the donations and deliver them to the nearest Smith's Food and Drug store, Bank of Utah location or directly to the nearest food pantry. We will send out another email when the bags are ready and available. For units that are outlying from the Scout office, let us know and we can make arrangements to get bags to you. 

Units may also be asked to staff collection points at Smiths stores and Bank of Utah branches to help collect food that is delivered. Those staffing collection points at stores will also have flyers they can hand out to shoppers and encourage them to buy food to donate. Collection point locations can be found on the Council website.

All units should help promote the drive any way they can. Be creative and get the word out on social media or maybe post a sign in your yard. If your unit has another idea of how to collect food or to promote Scouting for Food we would love to hear about it. You can put your idea in the comments below or shoot an email to district.oldephraim+sff@gmail.com and tell us about it.

If you have questions, contact Randy Hadfield by email randy.hadfield70@gmail.com or text to 435-512-0960.
