Food For Families - Special Council Incentive
 
As part of the “Food for Families” initiative, councils can earn all four of the “community” programs required for the Columbian Award application by conducting a food drive. To qualify, the council (not individual members) must conduct the drive and include written documentation (including the date and location of the event, the number of council members involved, number of families who benefitted, and the amount of food collected) with the Columbian Award application (#SP-7).
