This past weekend we had, quite probably, the most successful Scouting for Food activity in recent memory. The official weigh in credited us with 1,500 pounds of food. You read right. Thats three quarter TON of food.
And this was also the first time I helped out at the collection/drop off center. I was expecting maybe a dozen people who sort the stuff into cans, bottles, boxes. Wow was I off. It was an entire gymnasium of a nearby church that was packed with maybe 100 people. And not just Boy Scouts. It was Girls Scouts, and even a LaCross team that showed up. And the sorting was done with milk crates. As in, this stack of milk crates is peanut butter, this stack is evaporated milk, this stack is spagetti sauce.
Quite an operation.
