However, when the media highlighted the plight of Trapper Trails Council food drive, the public support was overwhelming Truckers throughout our area volunteered to replace our National Guard Units in transporting the food items from pick-u- p point to our food pantries, comments Fisher.

Fisher goes on to say the other challenge to our Scouting For Food Drive is to let the public know the Trapper Trails Council Boy Scouts of America, conducts its campaign for food in the Fall, not in the Spring, as does the other two Utah Councils. Our food pantries want us to conduct the food drive in the Fall when pantries are at a critical low point." states Fisher.
