Boy Scout Troop 483 Announces Drive thru Food Drive
Helping the East End Community during these difficult times
Hampton Bays, NY—
Saturday October 16th, 2021 9:00am until 4:00pm
Boy Scout Troop 483 will once again be mobilizing to support the St. Rosalie’s Church Food Pantry, with our Drive Thru Food Collection set up in the parking lot of St. Rosalie’s Church. The Drive Thru Food Drive will provide a safe socially distant way for the Community to help support the Food Pantry as it helps to support 1,400 local families during these unprecedented times.
Boy Scout Troop 483 has been helping to support the St. Rosalie’s East End Food Pantry for many years. In 2019 the Scouts collected over 6 tons of non-perishable food for the Pantry. In 2020 due to the COVID-19 Crisis they were still able to collect 5,000 pounds of Food. When the Pandemic hit the Scouts researched what Scout Troops from around the Nation had been doing to run food drives. Setting up a Drive Thru Food Collection point has been phenomenally safe & successful for the Scouts
This will be the Scouts 3rd Drive Thru Food Drive for 2021 and the needs have never been greater! Please pick up a few extra canned food items on your next Grocery shopping trip and simply drive up to our collection spot in St. Rosalie’s Parking lot to drop them off. Simply pop your trunk or open the rear hatch and the Scouts will gladly unload your grocery donation without you even having to get out of your car. The Drive Thru Food Drive at St. Rosalie’s Parking lot will run this coming Saturday from 9:00AM to 4:00PM
The Scouts Food Drive will allow them to provide much-needed support once again for the St. Rosalie’s Food Pantry as it tries to support those in need in our community.
Right now, they really need non-perishable staple food items like Canned Food, Tuna, Soup, Chili, Canned Meats, Canned Fruits and Vegetables, Breakfast Cereal, Oatmeal, Shelf Stable Milk, Baby Food, Peanut Butter and Jelly. The St. Rosalie’s Food Pantry is supported by all the Church’s in Hampton Bays as the central location for Food Distribution to those in need.
