Fairmount Food Pantry Giving Back

The boys in Troop 282 helped the Fairmount Food pantry with their annual food drive, which provided close to 200 families with a nice dinner over the holidays. There was many boys from troop 282 but also many younger boys from the Cub Scout troop that they mentor. We packed around 200 boxes in just 30 to 45 minutes. I believe the food drive was a success due to all the help that the scout gave. 
After the Boy Scouts and Cubs finished packing the boxes, they headed over to Trinity episcopal church to have their lock-in where all the boys stayed and played games all night. Few of the boys stayed up to 5 o’clock in the morning but most fell asleep by 2. All the boys had fun and got to experience giving back to the community and having fun afterwards.
