January Community Service: Food Drive

January Community Service 2023 Food Drive

Troop 4311 is excited to introduce Pima troops to Mom’s Pantry located in Phoenix, AZ.  Mom’s Pantry was established 7 years ago and is focused on feeding those in need in the Phoenix metro area.  In the past year, Mom’s Pantry has provided over 12,00 households with over 526,300 pounds of food.  The numbers of families in need increase monthly. 

 

We hope your troop will participate collecting food for families in need.  Please sign your troop up to collect food through the month of January by emailing gstroop4311@gmail.com.  Large food bins can be borrowed for collection if desired.  Details will be emailed out to individual troops participating in collection regarding final drop off or pick up details.  Collection will occur throughout the month of January.

January Food Drive drop off instructions

We hope you and your troop are underway collecting food for our GS Pima Neighborhood January Food Drive event for Mom’s Pantry.

Once your troop has collected all your items they can be dropped off in one of two ways: 

1) Food can be dropped off the morning of January 22nd, 9a-1pm at Mom’s Pantry, located at 13440 N Cave Creek Road in Phoenix. Drop off your troop's donations at the SOUTH double doors of Mom’s Pantry, please state the donation is for the Pima Neighborhood GS Food Drive.  Troop 4311 leader will be there to help receive donations. 

2) Bring your troop’s donation to one of the February leaders meetings on February 6th.  

Please email troop 4311 of your plan for drop off of donations at gstroop4311@gmail.com ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.

 

If your troop won’t be participating in the larger food drive, we ask that each Girl Scout bring a donation to the Cookie Rally on January 6^th.  Below are the items in greatest need for the pantry:

• Non-perishable canned goods and dry food: Boxes of cereal, beans, flour, rice, canned goods, pasta, macaroni and cheese
• Paper products
• Personal hygiene products (soap, feminine products, etc.)
• Cleaning Supplies (disinfectant sprays and wipes)
• Baby formula & baby wipes & diapers

Your troops can make a huge impact on our community.  Thanks in advance for your participation.
