Scouts collect over 92 Tons of Food for
families of Metro West

November 18, 2009 – The Scouts of the Knox Trail Council and others that included Parents, Girl Scouts, Fire Departments, Church Groups, Seniors and other High School Students collected food on behalf of Scouting for Food, A National Good Turn for the Boy Scouts of America. Over 92 Tons of Food in the 21st Anniversary of the Scouting for Food, Good Turn for America was collected for families in need.  Over 4,200 scouts, parents, leaders, and others collected food for local food pantries in the Metro West area.

John W. Polanowicz, CEO, Marlborough Hospital, and Chairman of the 2009 Scouting for Food drive congratulates all who helped make this National Good Turn so successful under difficult weather conditions. The goal was to collect 100 tons of food in conjunction with upcoming 100th Anniversary of Scouting. Scouting was able to collect over 92 tons of food for families in need throughout the Metro West area and beyond (Cambridge) but did not reach the 100 ton goal because they were hampered in the great effort by heavy rain on Saturday. This represents an 11 ton increase over the 81 tons that were collected in the 2008 Scouting for Food Good Turn.

The Scouts and Scouters of the Knox Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America have collected over 1,100 tons of food in the past 20 years. 

A special thank you goes to Price Chopper Supermarkets for donating the Scouting for Food Bags that were used in the 2009 food drive.
