The Adventures of 219

Scouting for Food at Fred Meyers

4/15/2016

0 Comments

 
Approximately 18 scouts and seven adults worked two hour shifts at Fred Meyers on Saturday, April 16th, gathering food for the Alaska Food Bank.  From 10 am to 4 pm, the scouts of troop 219 stood in front of the entrances of Fred Meyer's encouraging patrons to donate food to the Food Bank of Alaska. In total, we gathered 2,675 pound of food and $889 in cash donations.  I thought the highlight of the service project was when one gentleman donated $200, and a lady donated almost an entire grocery cart of food.  It is amazing how generous the people of Eagle River are.  I feel we learned from this service project that a little help from a needy family goes a long way.
