Donate: hats, gloves, scarves and toiletries (deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lip balm, combs, feminine hygiene products) at one of our drop off drives above. If you can’t make those, feel free to email gsemtroop75181@outlook.com and arrange a pick up.

Once we have all the items, we will be donating to the local shelters and local low income schools. We will be doing a scarf project tying scarves to trees and lampposts in high need areas for anyone in need to take. We are creating a Girl Scouts “Helping House” similar to the little library that we will stock full of toiletries and hope that the community can sustain it with occasional contributions.
