The Boy Scouts of America were at it again with their annual ‘Scouting For Food’ Food Drive in November. The event is held in six different counties in the San Francisco Bay Area and donates the collections to eight different food banks throughout those counties. Last year, they collected over 49,500lbs of food and received more than $22,800 in donations providing nearly 100,000 meals to food-insecure communities.
Thanks to Gentle Giant Moving Company - San Francisco, Chipman Relocation & Logistics, and NorthStar Moving - San Francisco for all of your hard work transporting the donations!
