A Scout is Helpful

Scouting for Food :: Collecting Donation at B&G on Sat, 2/11

Earn 5 raffle tickets for bringing any donation and 5 more for bringing 35 or more items!!

The pack will be collecting food and personal hygiene items in February to help stock the food bank.  All donation will be collected at the Blue & Gold celebration on Sat, 2/11.

Our pack goal is to collect over 1,500 items or 35 items per scout and to have 100% scout participation.  As an added incentive to bring donation to the Blue and Gold celebration, 5 raffle tickets will be given for bringing any donation and an additional 5 raffle tickets will be given for donation 35 or more items!

To help maximize this year’s donation, I’d encourage you to organize a neighborhood collection using the attached documents.  If there are multiple Pack 459 scouts in your neighborhood, please coordinate your efforts to organize a single collection.  I’d recommend asking for donation at least twice with  a neighborhood collection on the morning of Sat, 2/11.  Below are some comments re: each attachments.

• Neighborhood Flyer:  The attached flyer (2 per page) can be put in mailboxes this week.  If you use this flyer, be sure to add the scout(s) name and phone number.  Also, please observer mailbox regulations (particularly in the Waterside subdivision) to keep the pack for getting in trouble.
• Neighborhood Email:  The attached email can be sent to a neighborhood distribution list to solicit donations.  If you use this, be sure to add your neighborhood name and ensure the collection date/times work with your schedule.
• Thank You Note:  The attached thank you note (2 per page) should be given to anyone who donates items at the time of the pick-up.

Please join us in helping this great local charity and making this year’s collection a huge success.  Thanks for your support!  Scouting for Food Pack Coordinator
