Daisy Girl Scout Project @ Sunshine

Daisy Girl Scout Troop 1097 is collecting canned food items to donate to the student food pantry at Scioto County JVS. The student council there operates a food pantry for students who would otherwise be hungry on the weekends.

Sunshine's Daisy troop consists of kindergarten age girls from Minford and meets at the church building. We are collecting canned goods as our community service project. The week of March 11-18 we will be celebrating the 95th anniversary of Girl Scouting and will kick off the week on March 11th with Girl Scout Sunday.

Some of our girls will be here to greet you and hand out bulletins. We will also have tubs to collect canned food items. Please help support our service project by bringing a canned food item. If you forget on Sunday, March 11, you will have until Sunday evening, March 18. All donations are appreciated.

After a survey was done at school, several students indicated that they had very little, if any, food at home on the weekend. Therefore, a food pantry was started to meet their needs. Every Friday these students pick up a backpack (to avoid embarrassment) filled with canned goods to take home. One student told how she and her mother lived in a camping trailer. We take so much for granted. This is a very worthwhile project and the students appreciate our efforts. Sharon Gampp

It is amazing to me in a country that is so wealthy that we can have people who have so little. We do take so much for granted.
