Scouting for Food

Did you know that 1 in 10 children face hunger on a daily basis in Utah?  Help feed the need by supporting the annual Scouting for Food Drive!  We are seeking healthy, commercially packaged, non-perishable food that hasn’t expired past one year, such as:

• Canned fruits and vegetables
• Canned meats, like tuna, chicken, and salmon
• Peanut butter
• Canned soup
• Paper products
• Toiletries

Give your donation to your Scout or drop it off at Smith’s in Herriman on Saturday, February 8, 2025 between 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. More details can be found at www.utahscouts.org/scoutingforfood. 

To learn more about the impact of Scouting for Food locally, listen to The Power of Youth in Fighting Hunger episode of the Miles of Impact podcast.
