Girl Scout Gold Award Project Brings Accessible, Anonymous Relief to North Jersey Community
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Hackensack NJ, Hackensack High School senior and dedicated Girl Scout, Sylvia Brown, is leading an inspiring initiative to combat food insecurity in her North Jersey community. Taking a cue from the popular Little Free Libraries, Brown is erecting Mini Food Pantries—small, accessible boxes stocked with canned goods, pasta, and other non-perishable essentials—under the motto: “Give what you can, take what you need.”
This powerful project is part of Brown’s pursuit of the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest and most challenging honor in Girl Scouting.
