About duty2others

On June 17th, 2010, the Mecklenburg County Boy Scouts and Hornet's Nest Girl Scouts are partnering with Million Meal Mission, Samaritan International, Harrison United Methodist Church, and Feed My Starving Children to help prepare 1,000,000 meals for children in the Philippines, Haiti, and more than 60 other countries around the world.

This amazing service event, recently featured in the Charlotte Observer, has a dedicated Scouting Day that will take place Thursday, June 17th at Harrison United Methodist Church in Pineville, NC. You and your group can select a two hour shift at 12, 3, or 6pm.

This event is open to all Daisies, Brownies, Girl Scouts (Juniors, Cadets, Seniors), Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers and all Scouting families from Kindergarten to Great Grand Parents.

You can help by mobilizing your Troop, Pack, Crew, or Families to come and fill a 2 hour slot and preparing meals for those beyond our borders in need.

Help needed at Oasis Shrine Temple

Million Meal Mission is in URGENT need of volunteers. If you volunteered to work at FMSC when it was at Harrison, you know how EASY this is.  Mineral Springs and Harrison combined packed over 720,000 meals.  There are only 280,000 to go to make the 1 million goal!! We are again in desperate need of caring volunteers who want to make a difference by packing food for 2 hours. We need 700 volunteers to work shifts for the 3rd and final event this week at the Oasis Shrine Temple, 604 Doug Mayes Place, in Charlotte. Take 485 east (going toward Matthews) to Hwy 29 toward Charlotte, which is North Tryon.  Off of N. Tryon, take a left on JW Clay Blvd, then right on Doug Mayes.
