Food Drive

The 2016 Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast Helping Hands Food Drive will be held as a month-long community service project in April, a time when local food banks have the biggest need. Girl Scouts can collect food in many ways.

Consider a food drive competition in your neighborhood, at your school, meeting place or local business. Bring the food you’ve collected to the food bank location nearest you. Enter the Pounds and Pounds contest! The troop who has the most pounds per girl collected will win a movie night basket for the entire troop to enjoy. Best of luck, have fun with it and remember you are part of a tradition of Girl Scouts giving back to their community.
