MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – A group of Boy Scouts hand-delivered a donation Saturday afternoon.
Boy Scout Troop 372 swung by St. Vincent De Paul to drop off some food during the fifth annual food and can drive. The troop spent the morning gathering bags of food from doorsteps around Marquette.
Starting last week, the troop took 900 donated grocery bags from Tadych’s Marketplace Foods and placed them at doors around the greater Marquette area. This week, they came back with the bags filled.
Rich Matthews, Troop 372 Assistant Scout Master, says the Boy Scouts work to make the scouts better individuals.
“It’s a wonderful community service, teaching to scouts that it’s great to be going camping and hiking, but also to give back to the community for those that could benefit from the food and the… money that was brought to St. Vincent’s,” said Matthews.
The troops said they were pleased with their work and excited to go to Culver’s as a reward.
The troops donated more than 200 bags with more than 1,700 pounds of food and more than $380 from returnables.
Matthews says they look forward to donating again next year.
