Since 1988, the Scouts of the Narragansett Council have helped feed families in need by collecting over 10 million pounds of food. The yearly Good Turn is the area’s most impactful food drive and the largest annual Scout service project. Marion Cub Scout Pack 32 and Troop 32 have been participating in this project since its inception. This year there are a number of ways to donate; Drop off items to the Marion Police Department, Hiller Dodge showroom on route 6, Marion Art Center, Uncle Jon’s Marion or come to the annual Soap Box Derby on November 8 from 9am to 1pm, rain date November 9, and donate directly to the scouts as they race. Food Collection is now through November 20.
Items that are always in need of at the pantry include: jelly, hearty soups, crackers, cookies, cereal, pasta sauce, juice, mayo, toilet paper, soap, toothpaste, and nonperishable items. No glass jars please. Thank you for helping to support our community.
