Scouts in Thurmont placed sticky notes on the doors of houses on October 28 for the annual Scouting for Food Drive. The Scouts will return on November 4 to pick up your donations for the local food bank.

Please leave your donations in bags on your front porch, and the Scouts will come by and pick them up. All donations will be brought to the Thurmont Food Bank.

Canned and non-perishable goods are needed. Also needed are hygiene products, including baby items and pet food items.

January was a quiet month for the LEO Club. Plans and posters were made for the Share the Love Food Drive and Pennies for Patients.

Share the Love Food Drive will collect food for our local food bank, and Pennies for Patients raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The Leo Club decided to donate $100 to Days End Horse Rescue and $50 to Cuddles Cat Rescue.

Lastly, we are planning to make Valentine’s Day cards for the seniors at the Thurmont Senior Center, as well as scheduling an afternoon to play bingo with the seniors.
