(ALLENTOWN, PA) \u2013 Macungie Boy Scout Troop 71 collected 1,000 more items during their annual Scouting for Food Campaign. Each year, the troop goes door-to-door gathering non-perishable food items from their local community. Thanks to the pandemic, the Boy Scout troop didn\u2019t know what to expect, but they received 3,551 items!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an uncertain time for many, and protocol for collecting and counting the food changed slightly to ensure everyone\u2019s safety. But the scouts could not believe the generosity of the community and the<\/p>\n
success of the drive. The troop decided to donate what they collected to the Allentown Rescue Mission again this year. Trey Wachob, Troop 71 scout and food drive organizer commented, \u201cThe troop has<\/p>\n
been donating to the Allentown Rescue Mission for years, and it\u2019s such a good cause we didn\u2019t even think of donating elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
