A second-year Webelos Scout from Pack 408, Andrew Hoefling, said it was fun meeting a lot of people who donated food. He added that the event was a benefit to the community. On behalf of participating scouts, Troop 400 would like to thank the citizens of Hollister for their generosity and cooperation.
