Food Collection:
9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Food Drop Off:
Plano - Tom Thumb
(Parker and Tollway)
Meet at Barksdale at 9:30 am to be assigned maps to your collection areas. Team up with a buddy to collect food. Once you have completed collecting in your area, proceed to the Tom Thumb drop off location to turn in your canned goods!
Please try to COUNT your food before you bring it to a PLANO Tom Thumb collection center. Write Pack #179, your Den # and your total on an index card and hand it to the troop working the collection center.
Please email Poornima Poondi at

with the count of the cans being dropped off
Bring collected items to Tom Thumb Collection Centers. All centers are open until
2 p.m., possibly later. If you cannot drop it off before 2 pm at the Tom Thumb Boy Scout collection centers, plan on taking it directly to the Food Pantry. CALL them BEFORE heading out. Food Pantry Numbers 214.704.5689 or 972.424.4574. The Food Pantry is normally open only on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings but if you call them, they are very happy to make other arrangements. The Plano Food Pantry is located at 18th Street west of Jupiter next to Holy Nativity Episcopal Church.
FYI - The Tom Thumb Collection Centers at Parker & Independence or Park and Preston typically stay open later.
