Michelle and Amber in Omaha, Nebraska are two girl scouts who decided to make a difference. They began their journey of collecting items and seeking donations from businesses and individuals in February. Together they placed over 400 flyers on doors asking people to donate. They spent hours in the bitter cold of winter going door to door. They would go into businesses and ask for items. Their efforts did not go unrewarded.They went from being shy and unsure to bold and confident in the 2 months and 90 hours they spent working towards The Bronze Award. This is the highest honor that a Jr. Girl Scout can earn. People were generous in their giving and because these two special girls chose to make a difference, there will be many of their peers who will be able to get clothing, new socks and underwear, babies will get diapers and wipes and the Foster CARE Closet will have the opportunity to show God’s love to children and their families through the giving of such items.
Thank you so much Michelle and Amber!
p.s. Stay tuned in May to hear of the girls receiving their BRONZE AWARD

ReplyDeleteThank-you Michelle and Amber. Everyday when you get dressed you can think of the many children that are putting on the clothes that you collected. It takes all of us to do this big job!
