Girl Scouts Collect Socks for Those in Need

The Junior Girl Scouts of Holmdel Troop 1545 held a sock donation drive, collecting new socks for those in need, especially in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The girls used their artistic talents to create posters and a colorful collection box for the lobby of their school, Indian Hill. They asked for donations from classmates and friends, and eagerly watched as the "stockpile/sockpile" grew day by day. Thanks to the community’s generosity, Troop 1545 delivered nearly 700 pairs of socks, mostly for young children, to Holiday Express. While there, the girls took the opportunity to learn more about the organization and do some volunteer work. For more information about volunteering and joining Girl Scouts, you can visit us at www.girlscoutsjs.org or call us at 800-785-2090.
