Troop 718 – Scouting For Food Drive

An Eagle Scout Service Project supporting St. Johns Cares

About the Project

This food drive is part of my Eagle Scout Service Project. The goal is to collect non-perishable food and essential items to support families in need through St. Johns Cares and its partner food banks.

Food insecurity is a growing issue in our community, and every donation helps provide meals and support to local families.

How the Food Drive Works

  1. Paper bags and flyers are delivered to homes in the neighborhood.
  2. You fill the bag with non-perishable food or essential items.
  3. Leave the bag outside your front door on the collection date.
  4. Volunteers will pick it up, no need to be home.

Suggested Donation Items

Non-Perishable Food

  • Canned vegetables and fruits
  • Canned soups, stews, and chili
  • Canned meats (tuna, chicken, salmon)
  • Pasta, rice, and boxed meals
  • Peanut butter and jelly
  • Cereal and oatmeal
  • Beans (dry or canned)
  • Mac and cheese

**Please do not donate expired items, opened food, perishable items, or glass containers.

Collection Information

Collection Date: Feburary 1st
