PRE-THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE FOR NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS TOMORROW

Food Drive

Sunday, November 10th, 8:00 a.m. to noon

To replenish the food pantry at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in time for Thanksgiving, the church's Cub Scout Pack 187 will collect non-perishable food on Sunday, November 10th, from 8:00 a.m. to noon.

They'll collect the food in front of Foodtown, 382 McDonald Avenue at Albemarle Road, in Kensington, for the benefit of neighborhood residents in need.

Non-perishable foods have a long shelf life, with expiration dates far into the future. They can be safely stored at room temperature.

A few examples of non-perishable foods are canned fish, canned meat, canned and dried beans, nuts, peanut and other nut butters, jelly, honey, canned fruit, dried fruit, 100% fruit juice, bottled water, dry or shelf-stable milk, canned vegetables, crackers, uncooked rice, uncooked pasta, hot and cold cereals, granola, flour, dried herbs and spices, etc.

Healthy food options are best: whole grains, low fat, low or no sugar, low or no salt, and few or no chemical additives.
 
Recent statistics showed that almost 13% of New York City’s population suffer from food insecurity, meaning that they aren't able to afford an adequate supply of food.

Last year, in fact, 34% of the food pantries and kitchens in New York City didn't have enough resources to meet people's needs, so they had to turn people away, reduce portion sizes, and cut back on their open hours.

CUB SCOUT OPEN HOUSE, FOR SCOUTS WHO "DO STUFF"

Cub Scout Pack 187 Open House

Friday, September 19th, 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

At Cub Scout Pack 187's Open House/Registration/Orientation, learn about Cub Scouts, meet the leaders, and find out which activities the scouts of Pack 187 will be engaging in this year.

Cub Scouts is a year-round family program designed for boys in the 1st through 5th grades (ages 6-10). The program emphasizes leadership, learning about the community and the environment, family, character, and citizenship.

As a family program,

Cub Scouts is not a “drop-off" activity. A parent or guardian should accompany each scout at activities to serve as his teacher and helper (also known as the boy's "Akela").

Membership in Pack 187 is open to any family in any neighborhood. New scouts are welcome to join at any time. Pack 187 welcomes the participation of boys with special needs.

The Boy Scouts of America charters community organizations to organize and operate Cub Scout packs. The organizations manage the units and control the program of activities to support their goals and objectives. Cub Scout Pack 187 is chartered by Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.

For additional information, write to Cubmaster Christopher Dono at Cubmasterdono187 @ aol.com.

The pack meets on Fridays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. in Brooklyn Prospect Charter School, 3002 Fort Hamilton Parkway, between E. 2nd and E. 3rd streets, in Windsor Terrace (a block from the Kensington border).
