Scouting for Food Service Project

The Middle Tennessee Council, Boy Scouts of America is partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during the annual Scouting for Food initiative. As Scouts, we know how fortunate we are to have a warm meal every night - whether around the campfire or at the kitchen table. And we know that not everyone is so lucky. That’s the genesis of Scouting for Food, the annual food-collection drive run by Middle Tennessee Council.

Scouting for Food will take place February 12^th during our Pinewood Derby Workshop. Even if you don't need to cut a car, we hope you will stop by with a donation for Scouting for Food.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee reports providing more than 42.5 million meals to hungry children, families, and seniors throughout their 46-county service area. Every community in the country is home to families who face hunger, but rural communities are especially hard hit. Many of those families that will face food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and rely on local foodbanks and other programs for support.

People in our region depend on drives like this to stock local food shelves and ensure they are always able to provide families with the food they need. Now more than ever, it is important to find safe ways to continue to partner with our local food banks to help those families with food insecurities.

The Scout Oath includes a promise to help other people at all times. Scouts in the Middle Tennessee Council live that promise every day, and we are proud to work with our neighbors to reduce hunger in Middle Tennessee.
