The Cub Scouts from Pack # 173 and Scouts BSA from Troop # 173 in Mt. Mourne participated in the annual National Scouting for Food drive last Saturday. All the food collected was donated to the FeedNC located in Mooresville.

The scouts placed door hangers at houses in the area the week before asking for donations and then went back to collect on Saturday. Three pickup truck loads of food totaling 2,341 pounds was collected.

The Pack and Troop are chartered by Centre Presbyterian and Fair View United Methodist Churches in Mt. Mourne.
