Calling all Southeast Florida Girl Scouts! Spring is here and it is time to unite all girls to TAKE ACTION in all our cities and neighborhoods with Council-Wide community service!
Community service is a cornerstone of the Girl Scout mission. Our Council-wide commitment to service is paramount. Together we have seen the commanding lessons offered to our girl-members when they can see how much they have, how incredible it feels to make a difference in the life of one hungry and the power of what they have to give.
"Feeding Florida Together" Annual Food Drive
Month of MARCH (1-31)
We will be collecting food item donations at
our meeting on March 15th.
The Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida has created one of the largest single food drives in our state! "Feeding Florida Together" has collected thousands of pounds of non-perishable food for hungry families in all six counties. This year we ask for you help to reach 50,000 pounds by collecting food and donating to one of our beneficiaries. Shelves are filled during the holiday months of November and December; yet by the spring these pantries are empty and people simply go hungry. This is a powerful initiative with far-reaching results - all of which end up on the dinner tables of deserving families. All participants will receive a FREE patch.
