OLL, Malverne Civic Association Partner for 'Souper' Scavenger Hunt

Our Lady of Lourdes (OLL) and the Malerne Civic Association have teamed up for the fourth Annual Souper Scavenger Hunt, set to take place April 6 between 12-3 p.m.

Nine teams in last year's scavenger hunt helped collect more than 800 pounds of of non-perishable food.

Teams of people -- usually children with adults -- will go door to door around Malverne and collect food for the OLL Food Pantry. Each team is given a territory in hopes of covering all of Malverne.

There are prizes for the teams that collect the most. If you are a coach, boy/girl scout leader or class parent, please consider doing this as a team building service project.

Participants can also do it as a family or with a group of friends/neighbors.

A rain date is scheduled for April 7.

Any questions should be directed to Linda at 516-241-1896.

• All teams will check in at OLL Church Hall between 12 and 1 p.m. to get instructions, materials and assigned territory.
• Teams will set out by car or by foot to collect any non-perishable food items throughout the town of Malverne.
• Teams will be due back two hours after departure from Church (no later than 3 p.m.) and bring all items to the parish food pantry on Sheehy Place.
• Teams will receive a point for each pound of goods collected plus bonus points for highly needed items such as tuna fish, peanut butter, jelly and canned fruit.
• Prizes will be awarded to the teams earning the most points!

If you are unable to join a team you may participate by leaving a bag of non-perishable foods on your stoop during these hours

Prior registration is needed -- all teams must check-in before hunt.
