Twin Valley Council

A news release from the Twin Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America, of Mankato, notes a change for the annual Scouting for Food program from door-to-door to online.

Area residents are being asked to help raise money for local food banks by donating to “Scouting for Food,” now through March 31. Normally, area Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts go door to door asking for canned food donations. This year, Scouts are not able to do so because of the COVID-19 virus.

Instead of canceling this community service project, area Scouts are seeking cash donations online. The council says all of the proceeds will go to local food banks so they can purchase supplies to help those in need.

Through the online program, donors will be able to select a donation level and choose to help one of 33 participating food banks in southern Minnesota.

To donate, visit the Twin Valley Council website at www.twinvalleybsa.org/food

Donations will be accepted until March 31.
