Collection day for the annual Scouting for Food drive, benefitting the Green County Interfaith Food Pantry, is Saturday, March 7. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts, together with other youth organizations, are taking to the streets in Monroe to pick up donations, and deliver them to the pantry.
Donations should be placed on the front step, where they can be seen from the street, by 9 a.m. on Saturday. Use of the Scouting for Food bags, distributed this past week, is encouraged, but not required. If you did not have a bag delivered to your door, set nonperishable items out in any grocery bag. If a donation has not been picked up by noon on Saturday, call the Green County Food Pantry in Monroe at 329-7511, or drop off the donation at the Monroe pantry; donations may also be left at local grocery stores or area churches.
