Scouting for Food... A Scout is Helpful

Scouting for Food is the largest single-day food collection event in Dallas and one of the largest in the nation.  On one day, approximately 30,000 Scouts go door-to-door collecting non-perishable food item for the less fortunate.  The food is distributed to local food pantries across Circle Ten Council.

Tom Thumb has sponsored this food drive for 24 years and collects food at their location throughout the entire month of February. If you would like to participate and do not recieve a bag or would just like to help out more you can drop your food items at the collection barrel at your local Tom Thumb store.

Scouting for Food is the largest door-to-door food collection effort in the Dallas-Fort Worth area benefiting more than 45 assistance agencies across the area.
