Scouting For Food Brings in the Pounds for Bay Area Food Banks

As the numbers roll in, it's apparent that there was a heavy Scout force out and about in the Bay Area last Saturday! A huge thank you to all the Scouts and their assistants for braving the rain and collecting record amounts of food to feed our hungry neighbors. And thank you to everyone who participated and found the drop-off locations, even if they didn't get a door hanger.

Here are the poundage reports thus far:

• Alameda County Community Food Bank:
  143,737
  
• Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano:
  145,103
  
• San Francisco Food Bank:
  10,800
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties:
  117,140

(These numbers may increase slightly as more donations are weighed next week.)
