The girls helped fight hunger by planning and executing a week-long food drive at Dodson Elementary School and held another food drive in their community at Kroger.

The girls also earned their Girl Scout Bronze Award, the highest honor in Junior Girl Scouts, by executing the project. The food drives were a huge success with collections of 2,751 food items for the Open Door Ministry, which is a Canton food pantry.
