Annual "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, October 21, flyers and bags were distributed to 1500 homes in Lewiston, Maine. The following Sunday, October 28, over 300 bags of food were collected and delivered to the shelter. We would like to thank all of our volunteers...Brian Younk, Wendy Younk, Cora Younk, Zach McCarthy, Matt Dubois, Jeremy Bernier, Luc Caron, Abbie Kane, Emma Newell, Olivia Newell, Chip Pabst, Paige Bourgoin, 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 25 pounds of sugar, 18 pounds of coffee, 2 cases of laundry detergent, 1 case of dish soap, 2 buckets of dishwasher packets, and 2 cases of facial tissues.
The Shelter's Pantry Shelves Will Be Well Stocked For The Winter Months.
