Scouting for Food

Door to Door Details:

Map out what houses you will visit.

Register for the appropriate number of stickers. Please note, the stickers will hold all the necessary information for the community on how to participate. The stickers are large post-it notes that can be stuck directly to front doors.

Pick up the stickers from the Maytag Scout Office.

Distribute the stickers to your mapped out community areas. VERY IMPORTANT! Mark what houses you stickered, so you remember what houses you need to pick up food from.

Pick up the food and deliver it to your local food bank.

Door to Door Timeline:

Starting on April 7th, units can pick up their stickers from the Maytag Scout Office. Please note, units can pick up stickers after April 7th as well.

April 7th through April 25th – Distribute the stickers to your mapped out community areas.

April 26th – Food pick-up day to drop off at DMARC or local food pantry.

Storefront Details:

Des Moines Metro Area – DMARC has several red barrels at grocery stores for the public to drop off donated food. Units will need to contact their local grocery store to set up a time to man the red barrels. Mid-Iowa Council will provide flyers of preferred food for donation. Units will hand these flyers out to the public, as they enter the store, to encourage food donations. Units are encouraged to man storefronts on April 26th but can participate on any available day. A list of grocery stores with a red barrel is listed below. If a unit would like to man a storefront where there is not a red barrel, DMARC has extra red barrels that you can use. You will need to get the red barrel from DMARC and return it to them when you are done.

Non-Des Moines Metro Area – You can still participate in a storefront. Contact your local grocery store to set up a time. Bring a container to collect food donations. Hand out flyers for preferred food. Drop off food at your local food pantry.
