Scouting for Food is an annual service project organized by Scouting America to combat hunger in local communities. Scouts collect non-perishable food donations from the public and deliver them to food banks, pantries, and shelters. This program mobilizes thousands of Scouts, leaders, and volunteers to make a meaningful impact by helping families in need. Through this effort, Scouts not only provide essential resources to those facing food insecurity but also learn the value of service and civic responsibility.
Please complete and submit a Unit Scorecard for every food drive your unit does. We want to share all your hard work with the world.

Door Hanger Day is April 5th. The best time to place door hangers for a Scouting for Food drive is the weekend before the scheduled food collection. This ensures that residents have enough time to see the notice, purchase non-perishable food items, and set them out for pickup. Ideally, Scouts should distribute the door hangers on Saturday morning, when most people are home and more likely to notice them. Avoid placing them too early, as they may be forgotten, or too late, as people may not have enough time to participate.
