Huge Thank-You to Troop 1G Scout Cherry!
Brooklyn Scouts BSA Troop 1G Scout Cherry decided to help our vulnerable neighbors this Thanksgiving with her Eagle Project. She held a food drive for Clay Family Residence, a Greenpoint homeless shelter. She partnered with St. Stans Academy to collect canned food and frozen turkeys. She also worked with Met Foods Supermarket and organized +40 volunteers over this past Saturday and Sunday to work info-donation tables in the biting cold.
Cherry's personal efforts resulted in an astounding
+900 donated cans of food: +500 from the in-person tabling and +400 from South Brooklyn (specifically Coney Island, where Cherry lives). This combined with the hundreds of cans of food collected by St. Stans helped not only Clay Family Residence homeless shelter but also, several other shelters, North Brooklyn Angels, and St. Mary's. Town Square BK is so proud and inspired by this amazing young woman and her compassionate Eagle Scout project.
