Girl Scouts donate proceeds from cookie sales to Bread & Broth 4 Kids

Not only have the Girl Scouts from Troop #143 been helping fill bags of food all year for the Bread & Broth 4 Kids program during the whole school year, they also presented the non-profit with a $250 gift card to purchase food with for local children in need. They raised the money from selling Girl Scout cookies this past winter.

The fourth and fifth graders wanted to earn their Bronze Award and decided they wanted to find a community service project that would help other kids and found the Bread & Broth 4 Kids a natural choice.

Their Troop Leader said that volunteering at Bread & Broth 4 Kids was very humbling for troop members.

"Throughout the project, many of the girls came to me to share that they did not realize kids in their schools did not have enough food to eat over the weekends," said Leader Michelle Beall. "They were so happy to help and immediately wanted to know what else they could do."

"I have been lucky enough to have this great group of girls on my packing team one week each month since October," said Bread & Broth Co-Chair Christy Slocum. "They are great helpers! Their generous gift of $250 will be a great help to B&B 4 Kids in filling our weekly weekend food bags with meals for less fortunate SLT Kids."

Our community is lucky to kids like these 16 girls that helped feed local children.
