Scouting For Food

Aquia District BSA Scouts will be collecting nonperishable food donations for the Annual Scouting For Food drive to address food insecurity in our local area. Aquia District covers Stafford County and Quantico. Scouts will be at grocery stores and distributing door hangers. Pantries supported include St. Peter's Lutheran Church, SERVE , St. William of York Outreach and Hartwood Presbyterian Church and several others. Please see the PANTRY WISH LISTS page for donation suggestions.

At Local Grocery Stores...

What to Donate

Scouts will be collecting nonperishable food items such as canned meats, vegetables, fruits, stews and soups as well as dry pastas, grains and cereals. Scouts will collect hygiene items such as diapers, wipes and soaps too. We would like to avoid glass items if possible.
