The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is looking for volunteers to help pick up food for the Letter Carriers Food Drive on Saturday, May 11. They have asked for Scouts and parents with trucks that could follow the letter carriers along their routes to pick up the food for them. They would then take it to their local post office for sorting.

 If your unit would like to participate please contact David Tester at (405) 600-3154 or dtester@regionalfoodbank.org.
