Troop 729 strives to help local food bank in 3 separate drives during the year. The first, the annual Boy Scouts of America food drive takes place in mid winter (usually around February). The other two projects are sandwich drives sponsored by Congregation Shearith Israel. Their members donate food in the form of sandwiches, snacks, and fresh fruit which Troop 729 takes down to the Austin Street Shelter twice a year to help with distribution. It is a good community service project that also helps our young men realize that not sometimes life can throw challenges.
