Scouting For Food 2025

Help Feed Upper Perk’s Hungry

November 15th

Scouting for Food is coming back to the Upper Perkiomen Valley and we are collecting food donations on Saturday November 15. We will start by hanging door hangers the weekend of November 8th, be on the lookout for door hangers like the ones at the bottom of this page.

What is needed?

Most needed items are:

• Peanut butter & jelly
• Cooking oil
• Canned tuna or meat
• Canned fruits and vegetables
• Canned stews and soups
• Oatmeal and cereal
• Whole grain pasta
• 100% juice
• Rice
• Boxed milk ( non-refrigerated )

Where does the food go?

All food donations are collected, sorted, and brought to the Open Link to feed the communities of the Upper Perkiomen Valley. Learn more about the Open Link on their website at: The Open Link

How can I donate?

Look for a hangtag on your door, the various Cub Scout Packs and Scout Troops of the valley will distribute them around the local area, covering Red Hill, Pennsburg, East Greenville, Palm, and more. If you live in an area that we don’t cover, we will post additional locations where you can drop off food during the week between November 8 and 15.

Students and Staff of Marlborough elementary can donate at school where Pack 170 will sponsor a Pizza Party for the class that collects the most items. A big thank you to the Marlborough community for all of their support.

How does Pack 170 Help

Cub Scout Pack 170 covers Red Hill, distributing door hangers with information, collecting / sorting the donations, and brings them to Open Link. Want to learn more? Check out Scouting for Food – Cub Scout Pack 170 Red Hill PA
