Scouting for Food is a communitywide effort to help those facing food insecurity. The food drive is looking to collect nonperishable food items, such as canned goods, peanut butter and ready-to-eat snacks, as well as toiletries and paper products. Donations will be collected and sorted by volunteers and local partners, then distributed to food banks, pantries and shelters. Utah National Guard service members will specifically aid in collecting and transporting these donations across Weber, Davis, Salt Lake and Utah counties.
Donations will also be collected at participating Red Hanger, Young Automotive and food pantry locations throughout the state. Scouts will also collect bags of donations left on doorsteps for pick-up in neighborhoods throughout the state.
A complete list of collection locations can be found here. Lorna Koci, chairwoman and coordinator of the Scouting for Food drive, noted that Scouting for Food's collection day is intentionally being held during the Super Bowl weekend where many will be shopping for groceries and supplies for game day festivities.
