Scouts to Collect for Sandy Victims

Boy Scout Troop 225 of Merrick will be at Stop & Shop in the Merrick Mall Thanksgiving morning from 8-10:30 a.m. collecting non-perishable food items.

The collected food will be distributed to the Cure of Ars social outreach program and residents of Island Park affected by the storm.

“We would love people to drop off food,” they said. “Cash donations will also be accepted that the boy scouts will use to purchase goods.”

Items of greatest need are food, cleaning supplies and all baby supplies - food, diapers, wipes, etc.

Stop & Shop is located at 2160 South Merrick Mall. For more information, please email bsa.t225@gmail.com.
