Scouting for Food 2020
A NEW TAKE ON AN OLD CLASSIC

Thank you…

 ! For
     your patience and understanding as
  we navigate this new world together
 ! For
     your volunteer time as we try
  something new

Take what
you know
about SFF

Just the FACTS
 !   We will not be printing door hangers

 !   We will not be doing any in person activity on November 7

 !   We will not be collecting food from door steps

 !   We will not be collecting clothing

What we will be doing…

 !   We will have food only donation drop off locations on November 14, for
     the community to drop food off at

 !   Our Food Bank will also be receiving monetary donations

 !   We will be giving you a PDF flyer for email and content for social media to
     deliver to the community

 !   We will need your help in spreading the word

Tips for Success

 !   Share this flyer more than once!
       !   Post it on all your social media accounts…more than once!

 !   Ask your COR to put this in their bulletins, social media accounts,
     websites
       !   Keep a tracker to identify who is doing it

 !   Build a campaign
       !   Record a Scout in uniform giving facts on hunger and how
           you can donate to help (under 2 min video)

Service Hour Ideas
 !   Scouts can make signs for the neighborhood

 !   Scouts can stand on busy street corners near drop off
     sites with additional signage

 !   Scouts can go to local businesses that are open and ask
     to put the flyer in their window

 !   If there is a local organization that is also accepting food
     in your area, you may use the fillable pdf flyer to guide
     donors there (please count the food though)
