Youth Outreach Event- Not Just for Youth

Scavenger Hunt- Sunday, October 30th, 12 - 3 PM

As part of their on-going effort to support the Scituate Food Pantry our 3rd-6th graders will participate in our 4th Annual SFP Scavenger Hunt on Sunday, Oct. 30th from 12:00 noon- 3:00pm. The children will set out in teams from The Scituate Food Pantry located at the Masonic Temple on Country Way and collect specific food items. Once all their items are collected they will meet back at the SSF to organize the food, fill the shelves and have a snack. Wondering where they will collect the food? From you, we hope. Each group will have a list of parishioners who have agreed to be a "pick-up" location. Only one team will be sent your way. Lists of items they are looking for are in the Narthex. We had a lot of fun the last 3 years and gathered an amazing amount of food. This requires a lot of organization and we hope you will participate. So if you are:

- A 3rd - 6th grader who wants to play

- An adult who would like to drive, or

- A parishioner who would agree to be a "pick-up" location

Please sign sign-up in the Narthex or contact Stacey Stratton at stacey762@gmail.com or 837-6856 by Tuesday, Oct. 25th.
