Pelham Scouting For Food Program
The Pelham Cub, Boy
and Girl Scouts have held a Scouting
For Food Drive for many years. Each year Pelham Scouts
collect hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food that is donated
directly to the local Pelham Food Pantry which helps many Pelham
families. Each participating Cub Scout will be assigned a list of
streets to drop off Scouting for Food bags and to pick up food
donations. Please make sure you check with your Den Leader to make
sure you have enough bags, flyers and a list of streets in your
Scouting for Food territory.
