Pet Food Pantry
Girl Scout Juniors from Troop 602 in Chesapeake dedicated 20 hours each to their Bronze Award project with the goal of creating a lasting impact by supporting pet owners in need. After learning from Grace Lutheran Church, located in Chesapeake, about their occasional shortage of pet food, they organized a pet food donation drive. The Girl Scouts worked together on their creative solution and connected with their community for support. The troop set up at Pet Supplies Plus, also located in Chesapeake, where they asked shoppers for dog and cat food donations to be added to the church’s food pantry. Their initiative aimed to help families who are forced to choose between feeding themselves or their pets by stocking the pantry with small, portioned bags of pet food.
