Stocked shelves waiting to be sorted and distributed

This past Saturday, Cub Scout Pack 99 of Newtown, PA delivered almost 2,500 pounds of food and donations to the Penndel Food Pantry as part of the annual Boys Scouts of America “Scouting for Food” Drive.  The Cub Scouts collected non-perishable food items at home, from family and neighbors and during a food drive held at McCaffrey's Market in Newtown on Saturday, November 15th.

The Cub Scouts, in grades first through fifth, brought their donations to the monthly pack meeting at the Newtown Grant Recreational Center where it was weighed and loaded and then delivered to the pantry.  Volunteers unloaded the food from four SUVs into the storage area of the pantry for distribution this week for the holiday.  “Scouting for Food” has been an annual, national service project of the BSA for decades.

Pack 99 is chartered out of the Newtown Grant HOA. For information on becoming a scout in your area, please visit www.beascout.org.
