Bag Distribution Weekend Saturday, March 5, 2011
Bag Collection Day The Plan: Units sign-up online to participate in Scouting for Food by November 12, 2010 Units choose a geographic area in which to distribute bags at their February District Roundtable meeting On the weekend of February 26-27, 2011, the members of the unit distribute bags to homes in their designated areas. On Saturday, March 5 (Collection Day), members of the unit return to the same homes and collect the food donations. Collected food is then taken to one of the designated, pre-arranged collection points. Each participant receives a collector's patch!
For over 20 years, Scouts of all ages in the Baltimore Area Council have collected food items to help feed families in need. Over 95,000 families depend on their neighbors generosity in our Scouting for Food program. In 2010, over 400,000 pounds of food was collected and given to local food pantries, feeding programs, or food banks. | Key Contacts: Council Chairman - Bob Faber Arrowhead - Steve Halpern
