Service Projects: Feeding the Hungry

One of my favorite things that Jesus said was that He came not to be served, but to serve. Service is an important part of Scouting especially as our Scouts seek to "help others." Our community has two very important needs that will allow us to feed the hungry here in Chandler. We can meet one of those needs at the next Den Meeting and the other at the next Pack Meeting.

DEN MEETING SERVICE PROJECT: Please bring crackers, peanut butter, jelly, and juice boxes to the Nov. 16 Den Meeting. These items will help feed under-privileged children who otherwise will not get breakfast or lunch over the Christmas Break. Thank you to the Kempiaks for bringing this need to our attention.

PACK MEETING SERVICE PROJECT: The Chandler Salvation Army's Food Bank is really struggling this year. There are many families who are in desperate need. Our Scouts have a chance to make sure that families do not go hungry over the holidays. Please bring nonperishable food items to the Nov. 23 Pack Meeting to fill the Salvation Army's shelves.

  1. Tim and Harlan, just a reminder that Tristan is HIGHLY allergic to peanuts and I believe can't even be in the same room as them.

    I'm not sure if Mom checks this out so you may wan to warn her in case he shouldn't come.
