The annual Scouting for Food drive for FISH (Friends in Sonoma Helping) is underway throughout Sonoma Valley. The Cub Scouts of Pack 16 and Boy Scouts in Troops 16 and 222 will distribute bags and flyers onto some 1,200 doorsteps, hoping to come back to find them full of food on Saturday, November 15.
If you received one of these bags, please demonstrate your generosity to those in need this holiday season by filling the bag with non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and beans. Place the bag in a visible location on your doorstep or by the curb, and uniformed Scouts will come by between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to pick up the bags for delivery straight to the FISH collection center.
If you did not receive a bag, but would still like to donate, please take your donations to the Fiesta Plaza, at the corner of Highway 12 and Siesta Way, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
All donations go directly to FISH to help stock their Christmas baskets that they give to the needy in Sonoma. For information on joining Boy Scouting in Sonoma Valley, adults or youth alike, please contact the Redwood Empire Boy Scout Council at 546.8137. If you would like more information about FISH’s Christmas baskets, call 996-0111.
