Scouting for Food Sets New Record Collections for Doorways

Doorways Food Pantry extends its’ thanks to the scouts (and parents!) of BSA Troops 1 & 9, plus the Cub Scouts of Troop 88, who conducted their annual food drive in November and collected a record breaking 10,000 pounds of food for the pantry. The scouts and their parents not only collected the food, but they then transported it to Doorways and helped sort and stack the donations. We appreciate the time and hard work of the scouts and their parents. “The quantity of the food will help greatly” said Diane Fox of Doorways. “But the variety of brands and flavors is tremendous. It’s one thing to tell someone they can choose the food they like, but if there’s not a lot of variety, it’s not quite the same. The Scouts have made a great difference!”

Doorways also wants to thank the residents of Seekonk for their generous outpouring in support of the Scout’s food drive – your donations will fill the cupboards and grace the dinner tables of homes throughout our community this holiday season. You are a blessing to us all.
