CHARLOTTE, N.C. Boy Scouts of America is kicking-off their annual ‘Scouting for Food’ campaign this month.
On Jan. 30, Boy Scouts went door-to-door hanging door tags, announcing the start of their food-drive in eight counties including Mecklenburg, York, Lancaster, Anson, Union, Cabarrus, Rowan and Stanly.
The ‘Scouting for Food’ campaign asks people to donate non-perishable food items in an effort to refill empty pantry shelves in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties to make sure no one goes hungry.
“We are thrilled to be conducting our largest ever food drive that we do annually with the Mecklenburg County Council for Boy Scouts,” Tina Postel, executive director for Loaves & Fishes food pantry in Mecklenburg County, said.
