Marion Senior Girl Scouts Troop 30063 and Marion Cub Scouts Pack 102 were busy Tuesday distributing bags to local residences that they hope will be filled with food items when they return Saturday to pick them up.

When the clubs discovered each was planning its own food drive, they decided to combine their efforts into one event, Scout for Food.

Items should be placed in bags and put out on front porches for pickup by 9 a.m. Saturday. All donations will go to Marion County Resource Center and Food Bank.
