Scouting for Food Plans

Scouting for Food is Saturday March 26th.  We will meet at 1st Presbyterian Church at 9:00 for a short meeting.  We will get our maps and go out as a group and collect food.  We have the option of joining the boy scouts from Troop 7 for a pizza party afterward.  The cost is approx $5 per person and is optional. 

The Salvation Army in Albert Lea estimates 15-20 families visit their food shelf every day and they give out 1,500 pounds of food a day.  They ask that you do not donate any outdated items.  Some suggested items were ramen noodles, peanut butter, jelly, canned soup, canned fruits, mac & cheese, tuna, cereal.  I noticed that our shopper did not include a bag.  If you did not receive one, please place your items in any plastic bag on your front step by 8:30 am on Saturday.  Thanks for your help!  Let's stock up those food shelves :)
