MSC Scouts Against Hunger Food Drive
Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp conducted a food drive to benefit the St. Martin de Porres Homeless Shelter in Lewiston, Maine.
On Sunday, November 10, flyers and bags were distributed to 1500 homes in Lewiston, Maine. The following Sunday, November 17, over 300 bags of food were collected and delivered to the shelter. We would like to thank all of our volunteers...Wendy Younk, Cora Younk, Olivia Newell, Emma Newell, Nick Hale, Mackenzie Ames, Wil Tatge, Chip Pabst, Zach McCarthy, Matt Dubois, Jeremy Bernier, Luc Caron, Dave Veilleux, Alex Beggs, Brian McLeod, Teddy McLeod, Wyatt McLeod, Ann Chang, Caleb Chang, Willow Guimaraes, and Bruce Rueger.
In addition to the food that was collected during the drive, the MSC Board of Directors voted to purchase additional items that were on the shelter's wish list. The MSC donated 50 pounds of sugar, 20 pounds of coffee, 2 cases of laundry detergent, 1 case of dish soap, 2 buckets of dishwasher pods, 3 cases of facial tissues, 3 cases of toilet paper, 3 cases of paper towels, and 40 pairs of heavy duty crew socks.
The Shelter's Pantry Shelves Will Be Well Stocked For The Winter Months.
