CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) -

The Boy Scouts still need your help in their Scouting for Food drive.

The numbers are in and organizers with the Shawnee District say they took in a couple thousand less than the 35,000 they collected last year.

They're still asking for more donations as they work to fill the huge need this year.

If you'd like to make a donation, you can bring cans to the scout office or U.S. Bank branch on Gordonville Road.

Or, if you'd like, you can bring cans to local food pantries in Perry, Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, and Scott counties.
