NCAC’s Colonial District Receives Proclamation from Alexandria City Council in Support of Scouting for Food

Last night, Colonial District represented NCAC at the Alexandria City Council meeting. The City of Alexandria’s Mayor and council members presented a proclamation supporting Scouting for Food and our partnership with ALIVE!, a local resource bank that provides free food, personal items, etc. to the community.

Scouting for Food (SFF) is NCAC’s largest annual community service project to help feed families in need by collecting non-perishable food and distributing it to local food pantries and food banks.

The proclamation detailed ” the alliance between ALIVE! and Scouting for Food has transformed countless lives by providing sustenance and support to individuals and families facing challenging circumstances.”

Thank you to the Coloniol District for representing NCAC and bringing awareness to one of the most important annual service projects! Visit the link to see the presentation of the proclamation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsKLBLWufmc

Last year our NCAC Scouts collected over 641,512 pounds of food through door-to-door and virtual donations. We are gearing up for this year’s collection efforts and aim to collect 1 million pounds of food.
