Together we can make a difference! 

Be a part of our 2nd Annual council-wide Scouting for Food service project and help make a lasting impact in our community 

March 7th-22nd 2026 

It's easy for Scouts of all ages to VOLUNTEER & SERVE and it happens all within your neighborhood! Participate as a unit or as an individual Scout Family. All are welcomed!

Two ways to sign-up- all through the same form- Click HERE for the form. 

1. Store front Food Drive:  Collect food donations at a local grocery store. 

2. Traditional Neighborhood Food Drive-   Request door hangers and labels.  Have Scouts go out and place door hangers on neighborhood doors one weekend, and then go back to the same neighborhood to collect food left out the next weekend. 

NEW THIS YEAR!!-  

1. The SFF committee is taking care of marketing in YOUR community.  SFF will automatically post on social media in YOUR community.

2. We have already arranged storefront collection locations in YOUR community.

3. We have partnered with Northern Illinois Food Bank to accept cash donations- YOUR hang tags will have a QR code that leads to YOUR donation page on  the NIFB web site.  Every dollar donated will come back to YOUR community.

4. The SFF committee is obtaining permissions / permits for the door-to-door food drives in YOUR town.

Scouting for Food will make a difference for families across our communities. Units can complete a neighborhood-based food collection campaign and/or Store Front Collections.
