Boy Scouts from Pettis, Benton and Saline counties hope to make a difference with Scouting for Food. Each year, Scouts from across the country team up to collect nonperishable food items to be donated to local food pantries.
Local Scouts will deliver more than 10,000 door tag hangers, asking residents to leave nonperishable food items on their front porches by 9 a.m. Saturday.
