Girl Scouts Build Courage, Confidence, and Character volunteering at CMC
by Jennifer Tibbetts, Transitional Housing Program Manager & Girl Scout Leader
Girl Scouts focuses on building courage, confidence, and character. The Girl Scout troop from Marion demonstrated how they possessed all of these traits through their help at CMC.
On November 16th these 5th grade Junior Girl Scouts stocked our food pantry shelves with 583 pounds of food and a truckload of personal care donations that we received through Mercy Hospital’s Mission Week project. Through the girl’s experience they not only helped the residents and students gain access to these basic needs but they also learned about the issue of homelessness. The troop learned how CMC helps meet the needs of those living in poverty and that they can each make a difference and have a positive impact in our community.
