Kemptown Maryland Boy Scout wants to start a food bank drive
He emailed me asking for when and where info about Frederick Maryland's Food Bank, part of that email is below:
I am currently enrolled in the Boy Scouts program in Kemptown, MD and I need to complete an Eagle Project in order to advance. For this project I would like to run a widespread food drive for Frederick's Food Bank, because I heard about the lack of food at the moment. I would like to come in to the Food Bank itself and get idea of what goes on in there, so if you could get back to me at any time with hours, location and other important information that would really help. Thanks!
Well, I started to list the Frederick Community Action Agency's hours because that's the food bank I went to when I was not doing well financially and in need of help.
