From the 2007 Food Drive Pick-up day
[this is our official "press release," and we will be handing out bags and flyers to the dens at this Thursday's pack meeting, with the intention that most dens will distribute stapled flyer/bags to homes in their assigned area on the morning of Sat., Feb. 28.]
Saturday March 7th is the date of the Annual Granville Cub Scout Pack 3 Food Drive.
Area Cub Scouts will be passing out grocery bags donated by the Ross’ Granville Market to area homes the week prior. Residents are asked to fill the bags with nonperishable food items and set the bags on their front porch at 9:00 a.m. on the 7th. Scouts will canvass the neighborhoods and bring the bags to the Granville Ross’ Market parking lot between 10 a.m. and 1p.m. Licking County Food Pantry will have their truck at Granville Ross’ Market for the collected bags. Residents may drop off their bags themselves if they wish.
The Granville Market will also feature pre-packed bags containing $5 worth of nonperishable food items, which will be packed by scouts themselves. Bags that are purchased at the market may be brought home for collection or left at the market and will be picked up on the 7th.
This is an important year for the Food Drive. Chuck Moore of the Licking County Food Pantry stated, “The pantry is serving 24% more meals than last year. Every month the pantry serves 2500 households.” The Granville Area Cub Scouts look forward to this opportunity to help others.
