Alex Nestor, Pantry Saver
For his Eagle Scout project, Alex Nestor decided to help restock his local food pantry. First, he organized a food drive with other New Jersey-area scouts, collecting 400 bags of food for local families.
But then the 16-year-old went the extra mile by also rehabbing the entire pantry itself – repainting, tiling the floors and ceilings, plus putting in new shelving units.
What an inspirational example – not just for other scouts or teen, but all of us – of how to recognize opportunities to help and jump in!
To meet other bright young scouts, visit:
I would like to urge everyone to contribute to the food bank in your area. The need is on the increase. I also urge you to volunteer to help at the food pantry. It is very rewarding. You may be surprised to learn the people who come there are mostly families and genuinely in need. If you love children support your local food bank with donations of money or food, the choice is yours.
