SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – As we think about ways to give back this holiday season, we know Girl Scouts make a big difference in their communities—and for children around the world—by supporting hunger relief efforts.
Through Fighting Hunger, Girl Scouts National Service Project, there are many ways for you to have an impact even if you cannot give food directly. Service opportunities include supporting or organizing a food drive, thanking food bank heroes, and participating in activities to unlock local and global impact. We hope that you will join us for our fourth year of this important national service project.
Missouri Heartland Girl Scout Jordan Boehme volunteered with the Full Circle Garden Team to make dibble boards and a portable, folding root washing table for their garden. Boehme is working toward the completion of her Gold Award and plans to host a food drive for Ozarks Food Harvest. Boehme is one of the volunteers who help Ozarks Food Harvest gather nearly 20,000 pounds of produce every year for families facing hunger.
Across our country and our world, Girl Scouts are leaping to the aid of others by engaging in wonderful acts of service and kindness. Whether by writing letters to senior citizens, honoring first responders, taking part in a citizen science project, or promoting voting and democracy, now you can get involved in these unique Girl Scout activities too.

We Are Girl Scouts.
Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from community to community, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice, or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
