From the Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada:
Local Boy and Girl Scout troops are teaming up with Catholic Charities & the St. Vincent's Programs to continue a 39-year-old Reno tradition. The “Scouting for Food” holiday food drive will be held this Saturday, November 1st at St. Albert the Great Catholic Church at 1250 Wyoming Avenue, Reno, Nevada 89503. Scout members will be collecting donated food items after Mass. Saturday Mass times are at 4:00 and 6:00 p.m.
The drive will also be held on Sunday, November 2 (8:00, 10:00, & 5:00) and it is before Mass begins or as people walk into church.
The food collected will include yams, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, pie mix, custard and frozen turkeys, and will benefit the hungry clients of our St. Vincent's Food Pantry. All food items donated will be distributed by the St. Vincent's Food Pantry and will go toward feeding local families who may have otherwise gone without a special Thanksgiving meal this year.
The St. Vincent's Food Pantry serves an average of 5,000 families each month by providing them with a pre-packaged food box containing non-perishable food items to supplement their home pantry food supply.
