Local Boy Scouts Collect Can Food
The Local Boy Scout Troops collected 290 bags of can food for the local food banks. This is one of their project they do yearly to give back to the community. Jeff Folwell (one of the leaders) state, “Please let the community know how much we appreciate their help. The food will go to help many people in the Liberty area.” Pictured below is the energetic group of scouts in front of the Liberty Association Of Churches that received the food, that will redistributed to the needing in our community. Also pictured below is one of the many trucks that are filled with bags of foods that was collected at the homes in the local area. Great job guys and keep up the good work.
