Spencer worked on organizing a Food Drive for City House in Plano, TX. It is a home for children and young adults. He made fliers and had a few specific items listed that the home needed and asked shoppers to pick one to purchase and drop in the box on the way out. People were so kind and generous. Lots of boys from his troop helped out too.

Kroger let him do it at their store, Costco gave him a gift card to use for City House and Sam's provided that nice box, food to feed the Scouts on that day they volunteered and they printed those posters for him that we put on the box they painted. Kinko's provided the copies of the fliers.

Brigham took most of these pictures for his Photography merit badge. Good job Brig!
Mark Campbell in the background, red plaid shirt. Good friend of ours!
Nate Porter--one of the older boys in Spencer's troop--he was a great help.
Andrew Barlow, Peyton Arnell, Jacob Davis, Keith McCasland
Ryan Rigby in the back left, and Jeff Arnell in the back right. The rest I have named before.
They had so much food they had to take it to 2 places. The woman who runs it (below) was overcome with emotion. They have never had this much brought in before.
They estimated it at $4,000 worth of food.
It is very likely this will be helping kids Spencer knows, it was a really great experience for him and our family. Joe did a great job helping him along. Our ward and community are AWESOME!!!
(We are waiting to hear back from the hospital, was suppose to go in this morning but they called and said there was no room. Suppose to hear back soon. Crazy! Mom and Dad flew in last night.)
