Daniel's Cub Scout troop did a "Scouting for Food" service project this morning. Last week they left grocery bags and notes at people's front doors, and today they returned to pick up any food people wished to donate to a local food pantry. At the first few housing complexes we visited, there were only a couple bags and ten eager kids running to collect them. The faster kids got the bags every time, and Daniel was feeling a bit discouraged (and possibly resentful of his mother for urging him to go out into literally freezing weather when his help wasn't actually needed).
Fortunately, the last complex we went to had lots of food bags, and Daniel was able to gather a couple of them (with his little brother and sister along to keep him company).
The troop collected a lot of food to donate . . .
. . . then they enjoyed some well-earned donut holes.
