Girl Scouts “A Can If You Can” Food Drive
The Meck 1 Girls Scouts, a part of the Hornets Nest Council, is hosting their annual canned food drive on October 14 to support Loaves and Fishes.
Loaves and Fishes operates food pantries at the Ada Jenkins Center and Huntersville United Methodist Church. Last year they provided groceries and meals to more than 106,000 people in the local area, Half of their recipients were children or seniors.
You “CAN” help. If you received a bag on your porch, place canned, plastic, or boxed non-perishable food in the bag and leave it outside your front door by 8:00 a.m. on October 14. Girl Scouts will pick up the food, weight it, sort it, and make it ready for the food pantries. If you did not receive a bag, please check with your neighbors and see if you can consolidate your donations or you can drop of your donations directly at the Ada Jenkins Center.
Girl Scouts will be collecting food rain or shine.
