Cub Scout Pack 997 of Maricopa delivered all the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner to a local family in need Wednesday.
The sharing-and-caring effort was part of the troop’s holiday campaign to serve the community. They are also adopting two families for Christmas.
“We are teaching them about thankfulness and helping other people who need help,” Wolf Den Leader Zelmer Hagler said.
The Cubs are participating in an ongoing toy drive in partnership with Copa Craze, Journey 2 Fitness and 360 Barber Shop & Beauty Bar, where toys will be collected until Dec. 22.
