For the classroom
Cub Scout Pack 107 in Nacogdoches, Texas, collected food for local veterans. The pack worked with a group called Hunger Free Nac Sin Hambre. Scouts handed out collection bags at Halloween so neighbors could fill them with food that keeps on a shelf. They gathered the bags before the Veterans Day parade. The food is for veterans who do not always have enough to eat. A collection like this uses a holiday people already celebrate as a chance to fill bags for someone else.
