Troop 28 Sees Another Successful “Scouting for Food” drive Sean Greene (left) coordinated this year’s Scouting for Food drive for Hebron’s Pack 28 Cub Scouts and Troop 28 Boy Scouts. He got a lot of help from his brother Owen and other Troop 28 members in collecting food for Hebron Interfaith Food Services. Hebron’s Pack 28 Cub Scouts and Troop 28Boy Scouts witnessed another successful campaign in this year’s “Scouting for Food” (SFF) drive, resulting in 5,300 pounds of food donations for the Hebron Interfaith Human Services (HIHS) Food Bank. After many years of spearheading the event, Billy Czaja and Ross Silberquit turned the organizational effort over to Sean Greene. Greene is no stranger to the needs of the Food Bank. “I started my HIHS work last fall, when I learned from newspaper stories that they were running low on food,” said Greene. “I collected food every week at the troop meetings, and brought the food to HIHS to stock the shelves.” “While I was doing this, I noticed that each week more and more families needed to go to the food bank. This motivated me because I didn’t want anybody to go hungry during the winter. After doing this, and with the old leaders of SFF leaving, I just felt like I should help out,” he continued. A last minute opportunity to visit Israel had Greene turning the project management of the April 18 th event over to Connor Sabia. Hebron Troop 28 Boy Scout Leader Mark Sabia and his son Connor stand next to some of the donation bags delivered to HIHS Food Bank on April 18. A total of 683 bags of food, valued at between $8,000 and $10,000, were donated by local residents. Deadline Dates: Feb. 10, May 10, Aug. 10, Nov. 10 Sabia and his father, Troop 28 Boy Scout Leader Mark Sabia, compiled the results of the young men’s efforts. In the space of just six hours, 53 boys, parents, and Scout leaders drove around town collecting 5,300 pounds of food, which they then organized by food type and placed on the shelves. LOCAL FINANCING FOR YOUR HOME LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. LOCAL UNDERWRITING. LOCAL SERVICING. LOCAL SUPPORT. Ask About our Reverse Mortgages! “We collected a total of 683 bags of food; the bags had been placed on every mailbox in town by Pack 28 Cub Scouts the week before,” Connor later reported. “We know there are about 2,200 households in Hebron, so this means approximately 31% of all households in Hebron contributed to our SFF effort. That’s just amazing.” Connor took several sample bags of food, and estimated that the average donation bag held items valued at between $12 and $15. “We feel confident in saying that residents donated $8,000-$10,000 to HIHS in just this one day, and we are so grateful,” he said. “Hebron Scouts – aged eleven to sixteen – organized and ran the event themselves,” said Mark Sabia. “This service provides them with invaluable lessons in leadership, responsibility, and citizenship. The effort and service provided by the boys and young men of Hebron Pack 28 and Troop 28 is a source of great pride to them in helping their fellow residents.” Local knowledge for a better understanding of values and competitive rates. Local underwriting for quicker decisions. Local servicing for easier access. And local support... we’ve been here since 1842 and we’re here for you now. For mortgages, refinancing or home equity loans and lines of credit, now is a great time to consider the advantages of going local.
