League at the Blue Springs Fall Fun Festival

Every year the Parents Club of Boy Scout Troop 692 coordinates a fundraiser at the Blue Springs Fall
Fun Festival. Understanding the current economic conditions and recognizing an urgent need in our
community, this year the Troop also plans to promote a food drive in support of the Community
Services League during the festival held September 18th through September the 20th on Main Street in
Blue Springs, Missouri.

Collection boxes will be placed at every entrance into the festival to gather non-perishable food items.

Debbie Benner, the coordinator at the Community Services League’s Blue Springs office commented
that “Demand has been very high and we have had difficulties keeping food on the shelves” she
further stated that” while all non-perishable food items are needed and appreciated, we are in
particular need of dry good items like breakfast bars and pasta mixes” .
