Each year, troops from Girl Scouts Hornets’ Nest canvas neighborhoods collecting food for Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina and its local partner agencies to help fight hunger in our region.
The Girl Scout Food Drive is held the third weekend of October, 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.
If your food drive donations were missed during the scheduled pickup on Saturday, October 19th, we want to make sure your generosity still makes an impact! Please fill out this form with your information, and we'll arrange to collect your items as soon as possible.
Thank you for supporting our community and Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council!
