Please join Troop 41 and Packs 11 and 41 on these two dates as we help support
St. Vincent De Paul's Food Pantry.

Each year our goal is to exceed the previous
year's total collection. Mrs. H has, once again, stepped forward to oversee the event. She will be handing out route assignments. Please pick up your route assignment early. Bags can be distributed anytime Saturday or even Sunday of the first weekend. So, let's work together to support our community. Adults with cars, vans, station wagons and trucks are needed, especially on collection day. Siblings and friends are invited to assist in any way they can. Remember, many hands make light work.
