THE Landsborough Cub Scouts have helped fill a gap in the community, by building a free food and supplies pantry to support people within the community who are doing it tough.
They built the pantry earlier this month, after the group voted on a cause to support homelessness. The initiative will assist gain their messengers of peace badge.
The cub scouts worked from 8am to 2pm on Saturday December 8, to build two sheds and stock them with food, toiletries, toys, clothes and books.
Cub Scout leader, Debbie Simpson, took weeks to source materials through donation collection, to bring this vision to life.
“We had Mitre 10 Maleny, Landsborough IGA, Caloundra Bunnings and Seed Disability Support Services all contribute so we are very grateful for their support,” Debbie said.
The Cub Scouts now need a sign to let people know where the pantry is. Contact Debbie on 0449 169 250 if you can help.
