Each year, the Boy Scouts of America distributes bags to homes throughout the country, to collect food for the needy. This is done over a two week period. The first week is a bag distribution, and the second week is the pick-up/drop-off of the food.

Duties of the Scouting for Food Coordinator:

1. Arrange for drivers on the date of distribution and pick-up.
2. Sign-up Scouts to help in both weeks.
3. Assign people to groups that cover sections of our area of Iowa City (Gilbert Street to Broadway Street and Highway 6 to the railroad tracks north of Kirkwood).
4. Purchase doughnuts, coffee, and hot chocolate for those who help.
