Dear South Mountain Community, Do you worry about not having enough food for dinner? Do you have a place to call “home”? Or do you have extra food that you don’t need? Do you know that people in our very own community don’t have enough food and don’t have a place to call home? Well this is true, and they need help from us. Our Girl Scout troop wants to help people who are homeless and don’t have enough food. Please donate non-perishable food to our food drive for the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN). IHN helps keep families together by working with congregations in our community to give them food and shelter. Last year we brought joy to many families by making and serving a dinner and also running crafts tables at their holiday party. This year we also want to give them non-perishable foods, but we need your help. Please bring non-perishable foods, such as breakfast cereals, boxes of pasta, and cans of vegetables to either the Annex, in the drop-box in Ms. Lehn’s office or at the Main School and put them into our drop-box in the auditorium on the left side of the stage. Together we can help keep families healthy with good food. The Fifth Grade Girl ScouT Troop
