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.
