All proceeds from the drive benefit the Utah Valley Regional Food Bank. Over the past 10 years, the local Scouting for Food drive has brought in over 1.2 million pounds of food valued at more than $2 million. This year the food drive brought in 256,862 pounds of food, which will feed over 6,000 households in our community who would otherwise go hungry. "The Scouting for Food drive is so beneficial in our community. When groups partner together, like the Boy Scouts and the Food Bank, the results show what we can do for others when we combine our strengths," said Bill Hulterstrom, President of United Way of Utah County. Each year, the United Way of Utah County thanks local individuals and groups who improve our community through service. Along with the Boy Scouts of America, 24 other individuals and groups were recognized during United Way of Utah County's annual Thank You Celebration. "We really appreciate this help from the Boy Scouts and the community," said Myla Dutton, Executive Director of Community Action Services and the Utah Valley Regional Food Bank. "Everyone wants to help. Sometimes, it's just a matter of getting the word out. The Scouting for Food drive involves people all over Utah County through individual Boy Scout troops."
