Local Montgomery County scouts, cub scouts and venturers delivered more than 15,000 pounds of food to Keystone Opportunity Center on Saturday, Nov. 16. 

The food donations were collected during the Scouts’ annual Boy Scouts of America “Scouting for Food” drive, one of the nation’s largest food drives aimed at supporting local food banks, like Keystone’s pantry, which supports hundreds of local families a month experiencing food insecurity.
