Byram Cub Scouts help take a bite out of childhood hunger
BYRAM - As part of the “Great American Bake Sale,” Byram Cub Scout Pack 276 held its yearly “Cubs AC Hunger” bake sale Nov. 6 outside Hollywood Video in Byram Plaza. The Great American Bake Sale is an annual nationwide fundraiser sponsored by Parade magazine, aimed at helping the more than 13 million children in America who are living on the edge of hunger. All proceeds raised by the sale go directly to grants that support after school and summer meal programs, nutrition education, and advocacy efforts to help the millions of hungry children in America. This year a portion of the funds raised will also help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Last year, Pack 276 raised more than $500 to help hungry children in this country. Readers who missed the bake sale on Nov. 6 can still make an online donation at Pack 276’s web page. For web address, send email to ptjtquasius@netzero.net, and the address will be forwarded to you.
