Working toward the Girl Scout Bronze award, eight Girl Scouts from Louise White School Girl Scout Troop 1675 opened a Little Free Pantry July 7. The Pantry at the Unity of Fox Valley Church, 230 Webster Street, in Batavia, has non-perishable foods and toiletries. The pantry is part of the micro-pantry movement across the country. The girls were required to put 20 hours of work toward the Girl Scout Bronze Award, a project that encourages girls to work toward making a positive difference in the community.
Anyone is welcome to take what is needed from the pantry, as well as share donations. Alexandra Angelov, Rachel Carlson, Sienna Lux, Olivia McKay, Maeve Newman, Emily Ozsvath, Lindsey Perez, and Munroe W. are the Scouts involved in the project. Though moving to Rotolo Middle School for the 2020-2021 school year, the girls are committed to ensuring that the Pantry is always well-stocked and ready to serve.
More information can be found on littlefreepantry.org and the pantry’s Facebook page, “Webster Street Micro Pantry.”
