Scout Troop 339 exceeds 8 million pounds of paper
FREMONT - During its paper drive in May, St Ann’s Scout Troop 339 exceeded the 8-million pound mark of newspapers collected over its 42 continuous years of quarterly paper drives. All of the papers were collected and hand loaded into semi-trucks by the Scouts and their leaders.
When products are made with this recycled newspaper, not only are raw materials saved, but other resources like oil and water are saved as well. It also takes less energy, saves landfill space, and produces less air pollution.
A food drive will be held this Friday in the parking lot outside The Union, 464 Sutton Way, Grass Valley.
The Food Bank of Nevada County is putting on the food drive, which will take place between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., and will be run by volunteers with the food bank, with assistance from The Union employees on site.
Friday’s event is aimed at gathering pre-packaged meals for schoolchildren from lower-income families, specifically kids in grades K-12, according to Deena Graydon, who is an event manager with The Union helping organize the drive.
The food drive is intended to bolster the food bank’s Summer Lunch program, which provides students with free lunches to supplement the meals they’d receive during the school year, according to a press release.
