DeKALB – A handful of DeKalb-area Boy Scouts plan to spend their Thanksgiving helping superstorm Sandy survivors in New Jersey, but they need your help first.

Members of Boy Scout Troop 33 will collect food, toiletries and other items from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Algus Corp., 200 N. Peace Road, DeKalb. Drop boxes also will be available through Sunday at the DeKalb Police Department, 200 S. Fourth St.; DeKalb Fire Station No. 1, 700 Pine St.; and Sycamore Fire Station No. 1, 535 DeKalb Ave.

“They say the biggest thing they need is baby diapers and formula,” Scoutmaster Cliff Golden said. “Those things go pretty quickly.”
