Mission Accomplished!
The Scouting for Food event on November 13th was a great success. Troop 1523 collected 1816 lbs of food in approximately one hour! This was a great community effort that will positively impact the lives of many. Big thanks to our neighbors for donating the food, Pack 873 for doing a great job of distributing the bags, and all the scouts, drivers, and adults from Troop 1523 that pulled it all together! |
