Every February all the Scouts of Lone Star District go door to door collecting food for their local food pantries.

Additional Information (as 1/4/2021):
Based on feedback from the OA's and analysis of the increased size of collection areas this year, the Food Pantry collection hours will be extended to 4pm. The Food Pantry Drop Off on February 11th will be from 10am - 4pm. If you collect food in your area earlier in the month, you must hold it until the 11th when the volunteers will be at the Food Pantry.
When dropping off collected food, please look for direction from the Order of Arrow Scouts (in uniform) at the Food Pantry. Adult volunteers (and scouts) dropping off are expected to briefly assist the OA's with an initial sorting of the items outside of the Food Pantry. Please plan accordingly. Also, if you have younger scouts or siblings with you, please make sure they are helping and not running around in the parking lot. This is a small drop off area and their safety is important.
As indicated in the Unit Guidebook, You will be reporting collection results through the Journey to Excellence service hour reporting tool found at
