Making a difference

More than 310 New Richmond and Star Prairie Scouts and their families participated in the April 26 National Food Drive. Plastic bags were tied to doorknobs a few days before, with the request that non-perishable food items be left on the front porch for pick up by 9 a.m. Even as the snow came down, the Scouts were able to collect more than 2,500 pounds of food to donate to the Five Loaves food shelf.
