The project was made possible through a generous donation of ingredients by the scouts and
their families. Additionally, Aurelio's Pizza of Frankfort donated meat to ensure the lasagnas
would be as nourishing and delicious as possible, the pack said.

Lasagna Love connects volunteers who make homemade meals with neighbors experiencing
hardship, food insecurity, or simply needing a helping hand. The organization has delivered
millions of meals nationwide since its founding.
