Bluffton Boy Scouts from troop 256 will be Scouting for Food in Bluffton on Saturday, March 10. Residents may place non-perishable food items in bags on their front porches. All food is donated to the Bluffton Food Pantry, which supports families in need within the Bluffton school district.
Orders are now being placed for this summer’s downtown flowerpots.
According to Susie and Steve Stratton of Stratton Greenhouses, “This is our 12th year for providing the potted plants on Main Street.”
