Port Huron, MI — Don’t be surprised if you find a grocery bag on your front porch this weekend. Local Boy Scouts and their families are going door to door throughout the Blue Water Area, dropping off bags and hoping residents will fill them up with food donations.
The bags will be delivered tomorrow, Saturday, December 5th and will be picked up next Saturday, December 12th. This is an annual outreach activity for the Boy Scouts that is held in partnership with The Salvation Army.
Donations of canned goods and other non-perishable items will be put to use feeding families in the community.
Dawn Hedberg, of the Port Huron Salvation Army Citadel, said, “Donors are asked to fill the food bag for donations for The Salvation Army Christmas food drive. All food collected will be donated here to the local Salvation Army for use during our Christmas Assistance for needy families in St. Clair County.”
Sorting the donated food is a major task, made more cumbersome with COVID precautions. Sorting will be done at the Salvation Army Citadel at 2000 Court Street in Port Huron.
Those interested in helping can call the Port Huron Citadel for dates and times to help with the sorting.
