Girl Scout Troop 183 Helps Grafton Township Food Pantry

Girl Scout Troop 183 donated over 100 non-perishable food items to the General
Assistance Food Pantry at Grafton Township, 10109 Vine Street, Huntley.

These 5th and 6th grade girls held a SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere) night and traded pins with 60 other girl scouts to earn the Cadette Silver Award. The food was donated by those attending the SWAPS event. Their leader explained that they also made toys for an area animal shelter and dolls for the local police station. Non-perishable food item donations and personal care items, including toilet paper, are greatly appreciated by those who are applying for financial assistance from the General Assistance Office operated by Grafton Township Supervisor Linda Moore.  The recipients are often experiencing life-threatening problems including utility shut-off notices and eviction notices.  Please drop off your donations during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm, at the Township Building.  Please call 1-847-669-3328 if you have any questions.
