Day 232: Boy Scout Food Drive in Sherborn

Each year, a very devoted group of local Boy Scouts organize a very important service project, a November Food drive to assist local food pantries stay stocked for the holiday season.  The scouts make it quite simple to contribute.  They are driven around town by dedicated parents a week ahead of the scheduled pick up date (today) and drop of empty plastic bags, requesting that neighbors fill the bag and leave it on their doorstep for pick up this morning.  And then those terrific parents will drive all around town again with the boys to collect all the bags and bring them to the Sherborn Fire Station for sorting and delivery.  What's especially nice about this Food Drive is that almost every household in town participates!  And why not?  In our house, there's always a place for another at our table and always an extra few cans in the pantry for someone who needs it.
