Cub Scout Pack 166 Macedon NY
Helping the youth of today become the leaders of tomorrow.

Scouts from the area will conduct their annual Scouting for Food Good Turn on Saturday, November 14. Our Troop and Pack will collect canned and packaged food for the Macedon Food Pantry at St. Patrick’s Church, which is among more than 50 food distribution agencies in Ontario, Wayne, Seneca and Yates Counties.

Beginning at 10AM, Scouts will begin knocking on doors, asking residents to help out with canned goods and package goods (but no glass). To avoid being disturbed by a knock on the door, residents can leave bags of food on their front steps for the Scouts to pick up.

Along with collecting it, the Scouts will sort and box the donated food before delivering it to the Food Pantry that afternoon.

Scouting For Food is intended to make people aware of the need for food in our communities, and to invite people to give directly to the St. Patrick’s Food Pantry or other local food distribution agencies all during the year.
