This Life Scout whose Eagle Scout brother died in the Persian Gulf War reminds us that Memorial Day should be a day of reverence, not a big sales day.

Beginning today, be on the lookout for a bright red Scouting for Food door hanger (modeled here by Larry Sprinkle & Colin Mayfield of WCNC Charlotte!) as Mecklenburg County Council, Boy Scouts of America will distribute them throughout neighborhoods in Mecklenburg Co. If you receive a door hanger, leave a bag or box of non-perishable food for pick up by the scouts on Saturday, February 4th.

If you don't receive a door hanger, you can still help fight hunger!
• Text SCOUT4FOOD to 44321 to make a financial donation
• Visit bit.ly/3XqmFaj to see a list of locations where you can drop off food donations on Saturday, Feb. 4th, or Sunday, Feb. 5th.
• Food donations can also be dropped off at Subaru South Boulevard - 9201 South Blvd.

THANK YOU to Harris Teeter for donating the Scouting for Food door hangers!

Over the next 2 weekends, Scouts will be placing door hangers in neighborhoods throughout Mecklenburg County. On Saturday, February 4, Scouts will come back through those same neighborhoods and collect food donations. You can also make a monetary donation by texting SCOUT4FOOD to 44321.
