Girl Scout Troop 1626 is launching a food drive this week, pledging to collect 150 non-perishable items before their meeting on November 14th. The young volunteers hope to rally community members to donate goods such as canned vegetables, pasta, and other shelf-stable products. The collected food will be distributed to neighbors and families facing hardship. The troop emphasizes that even a single donation can make a real difference, and they’re eager to see shelves fill up before the deadline.
Community members are encouraged to donate by bringing goods to the Sheffield United Methodist Church during troop meeting time on November 14th from 6 to 7:30 PM. Those unable to make it in person can coordinate a pickup by reaching out to Lexie Mendoza at 309-540-9599. The drive is part of the troop’s commitment to supporting local families and strengthening community bonds.
