Each year, troops from Girl Scouts Hornets’ Nest canvas neighborhoods collecting food for those in need to help fight hunger in our region.
The Girl Scout Food Drive occurs every fall and provides an opportunity for girls to learn about a need in their community, take action, and make the world a better place.
Last year, hundreds of Girl Scouts from the Hornets’ Nest Council collected more than 30,000 pounds of food during the Girl Scout Food Drive. This donation directly impacts people in our community through partnerships with over 950 agencies and programs including soup kitchens like Urban Ministries, emergency pantries like Loaves and Fishes, homeless shelters like Center of Hope, as well as senior programs and low-income daycare facilities.
