Scout/Guide Food Drive nets 36,000 lbs. of items By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer More than 36,000 lbs of food were collected for the Georgetown Bread Basket during the 21st Annual Scout/ Guide Food Drive Saturday (Nov. 5). In total 36,875 lbs. of food and $775 in cash came in for the food bank, which is lower than the 50,000 lbs. goal, however, organizers are still calling the drive a successful day. "Recent food drives prior to the Scout/Guide Drive helped us reach a higher starting capacity in the warehouse, and the Scout/Guide food drive, combined with other upcoming efforts will allow us to be well prepared over the winter months and meet our goal," said Maryse Mallet-Sinnis, media coordinator for the Bread Basket. Anyone who missed the drive but would like to make a donation is asked to leave it in anyone of the donation boxes at local grocery stores where it will be picked up. The Georgetown Bread Basket Board of Directors is grateful for the annual drive by the Scouts and Guides and generosity of the community which allows the food bank to provide food for those in need in the community.
