Did you know...?

Every Wednesday night Troop 631 scouts and parents work with St. Louis Food Rescue to save food that would normally be thrown away. They show up at Whole Foods in Town and Country and clear out their fresh baked goods, dairy, produce, and other items. Our boys pack the food in boxes, load it in vehicles and haul the food out to a Salvation Army Shelter in O'Fallon, MO.

The donations from Whole Foods have increased so much that the shelter now distributes much of the food to other shelters in St. Charles County. This goes on year round. Most of the year this is a school night and the boys need to work around homework and sometimes miss sporting events, band practice, etc. to provide this service. Many lives have been changed on both the giving, and receiving, sides of this ongoing service project. Troop 631 has been blessed to be part of it. Great job!
