Scouting for Food--11/14/09

Post date: Nov 14, 2009 8:50:32 PM

In this activity, we were going to houses to collect canned foods and dry foods to give them to people who need food. We worked about 4 hours. We had different groups in charge of food collection in different areas. Scouts walked on both sides of the streets picking up food left by the doors, and load them in vehicles. After we finished our area we took them to the base (church parking lot). We unloaded all food, and sorted them into boxes before we loaded them again into a truck and a minivan to take them to the main distribution center to unload them again.

I worked with Regis, and Micheal. It was tiring but fun, and good exercise. You need to watch the traffic when you walk around streets.

We collected, loaded, unloaded, sorted, reloaded and delivered 3100 pounds of food. We hope some people will have a happier Thanksgiving because of our efforts.
