The PopupFoodDrive Kits are in development. Three A-Frame Signs (a.k.a Sidewalk Sign) branded with the Food Bank logo have been built by Nazareth Troop 76 Boy Scout volunteers for inclusion in the PopupFoodDrive Kits. The final phase of the kit development is in progress. When completed, 3 15-foot feather flags, 12 direction yard signs, and 100 posters will be distributed into the kits for use by event operators. After the digital marketing materials are created, the project will be complete.
