"SCOUTING'S GOOD TURN" ANNUAL FOOD COLLECTION

A Scout is helpful. Scouts from the Town’s of Huntington and Smithtown will take part in the Suffolk County Council’s annual Good Turn, Scouting for Food, in the month of March. Armed with paper grocery bags donated by King Kullen Supermarkets, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers will participate in this annual effort to help replenish local food pantries.

The area’s Scouts need the community's support to help feed the hungry people of Suffolk County. Nonperishable goods (cans and boxes) can be brought to John Glenn High School on Elwood Road, East Northport on Saturday, March 24 starting at  9:00 a.m. and no later than 11:30 a.m. 

All the food will be distributed to help replenish the shelves of more than a half a dozen local food pantries in the Matinecock District (Town's of Huntington and Smithtown).
