Chattooga County Scouts are inviting the community to take part in a drive-thru food drive as part of Scouting America’s annual “Scouting for Food” campaign. The event will be held Saturday, February 7, from 10:00 AM until 12:00 noon on Ralph Stanley Drive in Summerville.

Cub Scout Pack 38 and Scouts BSA Troop 7 will be on site to collect nonperishable food donations. Residents are encouraged to simply drive through and drop off items without leaving their vehicles. Most-needed items include canned vegetables and fruit, canned meats such as tuna or chicken, peanut butter, pasta and pasta sauce, rice, cereal, boxed meals, and shelf-stable soups.

All donations will benefit the Chattooga Resource Center, helping provide food assistance to local families in need. Organizers say every donation makes a difference and thank the community for its continued support.
