Don't Forget to Leave Canned Food Donations for Boy Scouts This Saturday
Dearborn Boy scout troops will be participating in the annual Scouting for Food drive.
From first grade Tiger Cubs to 17-year-old Eagle Scouts, boy scouts of all ages will visit local neighborhoods this Saturday to collect donations for the annual Scouting for Food campaign.
Collecting almost 400,000 pounds of food last year, the 2010 drive was the most successful Scouting for Food program in the history of scouting in Southeast Michigan.
Last Saturday, local troops left thousands of plastic collection bags on the doorsteps of homes throughout Dearborn. On Nov. 12, scouts will return to collect the bags. Donations will benefit Gleaners Food Bank.

"Each year we pick up five or six Minivans full of food," he said. "The boys really love it."
