Troop 48
Medford Lakes, NJ



Each November, the Boys Scouts of America holds its annual food drive, Scouting for Food. Watch for Scouts from Troop 48 and Cub Pack 48 around Medford Lakes this November. On November 16th, our Scouts will visit each household to deliver a collection bag and return on November 24th to pick up any unexpired, food items.
All food items collected are donated to the Walter Cavanaugh Food Bank and will benefit families in need in our community. The food bank can only accept unexpired, sealed food items. Unfortunately, expired or open items will be thrown away.
​
Please place donation items into a bag, then place it by your mailbox or front step on Sunday, 11/24/2024 by 11 a.m. For the safety of all Scouts; PLEASE NO GLASS CONTAINERS.
Items that the Medford Lakes Lions Food Bank needs most...
CANNED GOODS: All SOUPS, Fruit, Gravy, Tuna, Chef Boyardee/Ravioli type meal items.
PLASTIC BOTTLES: Pasta Sauce, Apple Sauce, Jelly.
BOXED/SEALED BAGS: PASTA, Instant Potatoes, Mac & Cheese.
If we've accidentally missed picking up your donated items, please send us an email and we will gladly make arrangements to pick up your donation. Otherwise, donations can be dropped off at the Lions Lodge, 113 Apache Trail, Medford Lakes.
In 2022, the Scouts from Troop 48 and Pack 48 collected and helped the Lions Club sort 4,211 items, weighing in at 3,877 pounds (nearly 2 tons!). This would not be possible without the generosity of the residents of Medford Lakes. THANK YOU!
