Texarkana-Area 'Scouting For Food' Bag Pickup Is This Saturday

Troops and Packs from the Caddo Area Council have been distributing grocery sacks this week all around the Texarkana area for the 2022 "Scouting for Food Drive" to benefit Harvest Regional Food Bank right here in Texarkana.

What To Do?

Please load up your sack with non-perishable food items like canned goods or boxed foods and leave them on your doorstep/front porch area this Saturday, December 8, before 10 AM. Those same Scouts will be coming back around to collect them this Saturday after 10 AM.

Scouting for Food bag 2022 - Caddo Area Council

The weather is looking good this weekend so fill them up and place them out where they can be plainly seen.

Did we mention books?

Your Scouts will also be accepting book donations for the Literacy Council of Bowie and Miller County. Got some books you don't need anymore, put them in a box and leave them out with the food sacks. They will pick those up too.

Didn't Get a Sack?

If you did not receive a sack for some reason and would like to donate, please drop off your donations at the Caddo Area Council Scout Service Center next to Springlake Park, the address is, 24 Lynwood Dr, Texarkana, TX 75503. For more information, you can call the Caddo Area Council at 903-793-2179.

If you look up Route 66 destinations, this is definitely one of them. As to your desire to stop and see it, that may be up to your religious beliefs, but as a Christian, it was a great destination for me. You might say, I most highly recommend it.
