Scouting for Food is an annual food collection organized by the Boy Scouts. Local Scouts distribute plastic bags to homes across the region and return to pick up the bags, filled with food, one week later. This is UCM's largest single-day community food drive, last year we received more than 15,000lbs of food!
We need volunteers at UCM to receive, sort, and store these amazing food donations. Groups of all ages are welcome!
Three shifts are available:
10am-12pm
12pm-2pm
2pm-4pm
