Scouts to collect food donations

Local Boy and Girl Scouts will collect donations for Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County this Saturday as part of their annual Scouting for Food drive.

Area scouts will go door-to-door in neighborhoods throughout the county with fliers inviting residents to donate non-perishable items. Then, they will return later in the day to pick the items up.

Residents can also drop off items at Smart & Final and Stater Bros. locations where Scouts will be running collection stations.

Costa Mesa residents can bring donations to the Smart & Final at West 19th Street and Pomona Avenue, and the Stater Bros. stores at Newport Boulevard and 22nd Street, and Baker Street and Fairview Road.
