Scouts food drive
On Saturday, Nov 15, from 9 a.m.-noon, Cub Scout Pack 4467 will be asking folks to drop off non-perishable food items in front of JT’s Sweet Stuff on Forks Avenue. The Forks Elks Lodge will use the collected items to distribute to families in need for the Thanksgiving holiday as part of the basket effort that goes on every year. If the weather is decent, seven of the younger Scouts may try walking a few neighborhoods — they are hoping to fill a police car with the help of the Forks Police Foundation.
