Congratulations to Life Scout Sebastian Proano for completing his Eagle Scout Project. The project was a combination of an outdoor area cleanup and a Food Drive effort to support HOPE Community Services. To get this project done, two groups of scouts assembled over two weekends and completed their duties successfully. The Food Drive gathered 65 bags of groceries, as well as monetary donations, which will feed many families who are experiencing food insecurity. A big shout out and thank you goes to all scouts who participated and to Stop & Shop, Yonkers Cross County Mall for allowing Sebastian to set up his project. Way to go Bronxville Troop 5, keep up the good work!

Thanks to John and Chris for their service to Hearts to Home. They raised $350 to purchase prepaid telephone calling cards and ship them to the soldiers in Iraq for calls home on holidays.
