AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) – Local Boy Scouts will go door-to-door in several Amarillo neighborhoods to collect food donations for the High Plains Food Bank.
The scouts will begin canvassing on Saturday, March 22 as part of their 2025 Scouting for Food drive.
“The Scouting for Food drive is a powerful way for Scouts to live out the Scout Law by being helpful and making a real difference in their community,” said Michael Lopez, Golden Eagle District Executive. “Each year, this initiative teaches Scouts the importance of service while helping provide food to families in need across the Texas Panhandle.”
Residents are encouraged to donate food or funds to support the High Plains Food Bank.
“We are thrilled to once again partner with the Golden Spread Council for the Scouting for Food event” said Zack Wilson, executive director for High Plains Food Bank. “With one in six neighbors in the Texas Panhandle facing food insecurity, this initiative is more critical than ever. Together, we can make a meaningful difference by ensuring families have the nourishment they need.”
All residents not just in Amarillo, but across the Panhandle can donate online to the Scout for Food drive here.
Every $1 provides up to nine meals to those in need.
Participants can also donate food or monetary donations to the High Plains Food Bank’s warehouse, located at 815 Ross Street, on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donors are asked to notify employees that their donations are for the “Scouting for Food” event.
Donations can also be brought to the warehouse on Saturday, March 22 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The High Plains Food Bank says their top food needs include peanut butter, pasta/sauce, boxed dinners and canned items including soups, fruits, vegetables and meats.
