The Boy Scouts Asked, Our Community Answered
Yesterday’s Boy Scout Food Drive was a historic day and a true testament to community teamwork. Cub Scout Pack 73 and Boy Scout Troop 73 collected an incredible 4,171 pounds of food, a new record for a single food drive at our pantry!
Who Made It Happen
The Scouts. Thank you to the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for organizing the drive, distributing bags and information, and then collecting and delivering every donation.
Our volunteers. More than 20 volunteers gave their time, energy, and plenty of muscle to weigh, sort, transfer, and shelve thousands of pounds of food, all with a smile. Special thanks to our “secret weapon,” NSCFP Board Member Judy Douglas, who keeps the whole operation fun and efficient.
Our community partners. Many local organizations supported the drive in big, small, and meaningful ways. We’re especially grateful to St. Matthew’s Church for the use of their space and to the Voorheesville Post Office for lending us bins.
Our neighbors. Last but never least, thank you to the Voorheesville and New Scotland community. We never take your overwhelming response for granted. None of this would be possible without your generosity.
Ready to Serve
Thanks to all of you, our shelves are full and overflowing, and we’re ready to serve our neighbors through the holidays and beyond.
