Girl Scout Food Drive
Warren Troop 65667
On April 30th, 3rd grade Brownie troop 65667 from Angelo L Tomaso School in Warren, held a Food Drive at ShopRite Stirling to collect food and cash to donate to the North Plainfield Food Pantry. After collecting donations at the store, they brought their donations directly to the pantry in North Plainfield where volunteers gave the girl a tour and showed them how to sort and stock the groceries on the shelves. The Troop raised over $300 in cash donations in addition to many non-perishable food items, such as canned fruit and vegetables, cereal, pasta, sauce, macaroni and cheese, and tuna fish.
Earlier in the month, the girls designed posters for their table to attract patrons from the store to their table. I have included a picture from the meeting, and also several photos from ShopRite and at the pantry. The North Plainfield Food Pantry is part of the Food Bank Network of Somerset County and services eligible residents in North Plainfield, Warren, Green Brook and Watchung.
Troop Leader Petra Baxter, and Co-Leader, Jaclyn Joki assisted in the Food Drive as well as a parent volunteer Amy Chou.
