Scout food drive is Saturday

Georgetown area residents will find a paper bag in today's edition of The Independent & Free Press for the 16th Annual Scout/Guide Food Drive this Saturday. They are encouraged to fill the bag with food items needed by the Georgetown Bread Basket, which each month distributes 6,900 lbs. of food to residents in need. Most needed items include canned meat and stew, canned fish, jam, cheese spreads, canned juice and juice boxes, powdered milk, canned milk, canned fruits and vegetables, nutritious snacks for children, mini fruit cups, peanut butter, shampoo, toothpaste and brushes, deodorant, shaving cream and razors. Residents are asked to have their bags outside by 9 a.m. for collection.
