On Saturday, November 19, 2022, Westwood Cub Scout Troops will once again be collecting donations from the community for their annual “Scouting For Food" Drive to benefit the Westwood Food Pantry.

If you receive a Cub Scout flyer at your door and want to have Cub Scouts come by to pick up your non-perishable donations, package them and leave them outside your front door by 9 a.m. on Saturday. 

If you don’t receive a flyer, you can still donate by stopping by the Thurston Middle School Cafeteria at 850 High Street on Saturday, November 19th between 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Drop-off of non-perishable donations, curbside. Volunteers will help unload your car.

The most needed items are:

• canned fruits and vegetables
• cans of white tuna
• baked beans
• Progresso soups
• condiments
• salad dressing
• cookies, crackers
• granola bars
• flour
• oatmeal
• pasta sauce
• cereal
• peanut butter
• toothpaste
• soap
• seltzers
• juice 
• incontinence pads/underwear

Outside of Saturday, Nov. 19th, donations of food are also always accepted at the Westwood Food Pantry bin near the checkout area at Roche Bros in Westwood, and at the Westwood Council On Aging at 60 Nahatan Street from Mondays to Fridays between 9:00 a.m. to noon.
