(Chelsea Update would like to thank Brian Cashman for the information in this story.)

On Saturday, Aug. 8 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. several Chelsea Boy Scout troops will be collecting food and other items at Polly’s Country Market to be donated to Faith in Action (FIA), which assists local folks in need.

Troops 413, 425, and 476 will have adult and scout volunteers at the doors to hand out lists of items needed by FIA and will collect any donations at the exit.

The Chelsea area Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts collect food for FIA several times during the year as well.

Please consider shopping at Polly’s this Saturday and donating to these efforts.
