Decked out in full Scout regalia complete with kerchiefs and insignia patches, the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of Troop 1509 turned out in force Saturday morning, Nov. 8, to fill the shelves of the “Milk & Honey” Food Pantry at Rising Hope.
“I was very pleased with the outcome. They worked very hard collecting the food and separating every can until the last bag. They collected 1850 bags,” said pantry manager Melissa Lee. “My volunteers were very helpful as well.”
Rising Hope, a United Methodist Mission Church, aids the homeless and poor along the Route 1 corridor.
