The Scouts collected many sacks of nonperishable food when they went door-to-door on Saturday to replenish the pantry supply.

The food pantry is not government run, thus there are no restrictions on who can have free food. The pantry is open from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays and from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesdays.
