Thousands of people across the U.S. recently found blue grocery bags tied to their front door — to be stuffed with food donation items that scouts could come back and collect this past weekend. It’s an annual tradition known as Scouting for Food, which started 40 years ago in St. Louis.
STLPR’s Lacretia Wimbley has this report on the collection, and the impact in the St. Louis region.
