LOVE INC FOOD COLLECTION

Please bring non-perishable food items to the next few meetings. We will be collecting and donating these to Love INC.

In previous years, Troop 14 has been able to donate over 4,000 lbs of food to Love INC because of Haunted Hall. Without this event this year, there has been no drive for food. This has also been a year where other donations to Love INC have been AT AN ALL TIME LOW. We're hoping that each Scout can bring at least two non-perishable items.

For more information, see the email newsletter.

NEWSPAPER RECYCLING TRUCK UPDATE

Unfortunately, we were unable to fill the truck in the Tri-Cities.

But, to get a better percentage payout (after initial expenses), we have moved the truck to Norton Shores at the corner of Norton and McCracken (the north parking lot of the old Mona Shores Administration Building). Hopefully, the larger demographic area will help. We are asking that Troop families bring their papers (and those of your family/friends/co-workers) to the Troop meetings where we will have a green tub at the gym door to collect them.
