Stamford, CT — Girl Scout Troop 50549, a multi-level troop of Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors, recently organized a food drive to benefit the Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County. The effort was part of the troop’s annual Friendsgiving celebration and focused on helping neighbors facing hardship during these challenging times.
The troop collected a variety of nonperishable items to donate, reinforcing the Girl Scouts’ mission of service and community support. By combining their holiday gathering with a charitable initiative, the scouts demonstrated how traditions can be enriched by acts of kindness.
The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County will distribute the donations to families in need, ensuring that the troop’s contributions directly support the local community.
