Nate's cub scout pack did the second part of a can drive today. Last week the kids left bags for people to fill up with canned food on people's doors and this week they were collecting them as people left them on their porch. Nate, his friend Trevor and I went out this morning to go collect the food. As we went around, we couldn't find any bags out there. Nate was in disbelief, asking "Dad, don't people care about the poor?" We began going door-to-door asking for cans. They would go up to the door, dressed in their cub scout uniforms and Nate would go through their spiel: "Hi we're with the cub scouts collecting cans of food for poor people. Would you like to help poor people?" How could you say no to that? It turned out that the reason no cans were out in our neighborhood is because another cub scout group came through our neighborhood accidently and picked up our cans.
