Community makes scouts’ food drive a success, again

Dear Editor, Thank you, Eureka! Once again area scouts, leaders and parents along with cheerful help from the Holiday Island Rotary rolled up their sleeves and went to work to help feed the needy of our community.

Once again, the people of Eureka responded with warmth and generosity!

After all these years I still find it amazing that all of these scouts, along with so many parents, are willing to give up two precious Saturdays in a row, for such a community effort!

And after all these years, I still am filled

with wonder and amazement at the amount of food that this effort brings in, thanks to you, the people of Eureka!

This time of year, the shelves of our food bank tend to look a little meager. With Thanksgiving almost here, and Christmas just around the corner, the hard-working volunteers at The Flint St. Fellowship really appreciate the unselfishness of the people of Eureka. Having enough food on hand makes their difficult “job” that much easier.

In case you were missed, or were out of town, for the next two weeks both Hart’s and SunFest will have a drop off box for your convenience.

Hunger is a problem here in our own town, but together we are all helping to do something about it.

Isn’t it fantastic that we have a very large number of our hometown youth out there doing something so very positive!

Once again thank you Eureka for being so generous and for supporting our scouts and helping our community!
