Despite cold temperatures in the 40s, Girl Scouts, Boys Scouts, students, church members and other volunteers enthusiastically helped out during the Nov. 10, Sully District Scouting for Food drive to help fill Western Fairfax Christian Ministries’ (WFCM) food pantry. They collected, sorted and transported some 62,187 pounds of food donated by the community to help local families in need.
