PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany Girl Scout Troop 6229 is working on earning their bronze awards.
The bronze award is the highest award a junior Girl Scout can receive.
The girls picked their project to help collect food for people struggling to afford buying food. The name of their project is “Let’s Fight Hunger Together.”
The troop is having a food drive at their school and two of the girls are doing it at their place of worship as well.
They also raised awareness about reasons that cause people to end up struggling with money and not able to afford food, statistics of child hunger, and how they can help to the second, third, fourth, and fifth graders at their school. All food collected will be donated to the Interfaith Food Pantry, which helps many families throughout Morris County.
Dalia Ibrahim is the troop leader.
The girls are having a food drive at the Parsippany Shop Rite on Saturday, June 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
