Many families in Immokalee will be eating a little better thanks to the Scouting for Food Drive by the Cub Scouts of Ave Maria.

The scouts in Pack 128 worked for two Saturdays in November to collect food from families in Emerson Park, Hampton Village and Del Webb. According to the Guadalupe Center Social Services, which will distribute the food to families in Immokalee, the amount collected from Ave Maria will help feed 30 families for a month.

"The scouts want to thank Ave Maria residents for their generous donations of food for those in need and for helping Cub Scouts learn the value of citizenship," said Alicia Ritter who, with her husband, Bradley, helped organized the food drive.
