HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County's Boy Scouts are picking up where the letter carriers were unable to this year to help out the Reno County Food Bank.
"An extra five or six cans is going to make a whole world of difference," said Angela Fabian with the food drive. "Usually, the Post Office, when they do their food drive brings over 20,000 pounds of food and the food bank is missing that right now. What we need to do our part is to actually give in and help out and just drop off some of those items there when we have those drop off sites."
You can drop off food between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday the 25th at Dillons Marketplace at 3200 East Plaza Drive at Walmart at 1905 East 17th, the Eastwood Church of Christ at 2500 North Plum and the Park Place Church at 2600 North Adams. The drive is looking for much more than just canned goods.
"Peanut Butter, canned chicken, tuna, any kind of pasta, meals in one like hamburger or tuna helper, mac and cheese kits, canned meat, crackers, instant mashed potatoes, nuts, rice, cereal, powdered milk. Any of those things would be great."
Between the heat and a desire to limit physical contact, you may not see many kids manning the tables, but there will be obvious places to put your donations on Saturday.
