Are you looking for a quick and easy food service project for your troop to do for Girl Scout Founder’s Day? Here is one that helps your local community.
Updated October 2020
Here is a wonderful idea for your girls to help out the community and celebrate Girl Scout Founder’s Day. You can start planning now and be ready for your October meeting.
Back in May, I shared that our local Jewish Federation Food Bank had totally empty shelves. I had my girls take action and they each brought in a bag or two of food for us to donate.
This did not require any big planning on my part-just two simple emails to the parents about what the plan was. All I had to do was deliver the food at a time that was convenient for me.
World Food Day is celebrated on October 16th of every year to mark the initiation of a global step towards hunger eradication. It came into existence to celebrate the founding of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations back in 1945. The World Food Day is celebrated across over 150 countries which also include UN member countries.
While hunger is a worldwide problem, we can help locally. When my troop were Juniors, we did the Birthday in a Bag program for the food bank located in our high school.
This is a simple and easy service project to kick off the year.
