Girl Scouts Highlighting Holiday Service Projects with #GirlScoutsGiveBack

Girl Scouts of the USA is featuring holiday community service projects from across the globe with the #GirlScoutsGiveBack campaign.

Nothing says “Happy Holidays!” like donating a coat to a child in need, or participating in a canned food drive. Every year, Girl Scouts continue the tradition of being leaders in their homes, schools, and communities by taking the lead on these “Give Back” projects.
 
 
Some recent GSSI #GirlScoutsGiveBack projects:

After their school held a food drive,  Girl Scout Troops #8043 & #8921 worked together to put the food, along with holiday supplies, in care packages and deliver them to Community of Christ Church in Thompsonville.
 
 
Girl Scouts from Perry County collected 425 canned goods for the Pinckneyville & DuQuoin food banks. 

 


Girl Scouts made a quilt for a Gallatin County girl who is out of school fighting cancer.

Girl Scouts from six troops in SU 211 - Waterloo caroled with residents of Garden Place Assisted Living Home.


These are just a few of the great photos and stories from Girl Scouts around southern Illinois!  Watch GSSI's social media platforms for more great news throughout the holiday season!
