Crock Pot Drive

As one of our many community service projects this year my Girl Scout troop adopted Jar's of Hope a food pantry and thrift store in the Gap area.  This food pantry is located in the Pequea Valley School District.  I chose to go outside of our school district so that there would not be any awkward moments when a girl realized that she recognized someone in the food line from school.  When we asked Jars of Hope how we could help they recommended a Crock Pot drive for the people in the area who did not have working ovens to cook larger meals.  Our troop set out on a mission to collect as many crock pots as we could.  we rummaged through thrift stores and good will to find cheap crock pots to purchase with our troop money and each girl also asked friends and family to donate.  We ended up with about 50 crock pots.  On Thursday November 17th we relocated our troop meeting to the food pantry to help distribute the crock pots and gently used hats, gloves, scarves, and jackets.  The girls really enjoyed helping out.  I am so proud of these girls for their hard work and good behavior while helping at the food pantry.
