How it works: Each unit (Pack, Troop, and/or Crew) will promote the Food Drive internally within their unit, collect the donated food, and deliver all collected food to the Jamil Niner Food Pantry on Saturday, Sept 19 between 10am and Noon.
All food donations, by unit, will be weighed and recorded when dropped off at the food pantry.
