— from Orcas Island Food Bank —
On a sunny Tuesday afternoon in March, Jeannie Doty, Manager of the Orcas Island Food Bank, welcomed 16 members of Girl Scout Troop 46485 bearing gifts – 35 boxes of famous Girl Scout cookies that were contributed by community members who opted to purchase boxes and donate them to the Food Bank. It’s a win-win all around: The Troop gets credit for the sales, and the Food Bank clients get the goods!
There is a total of 19 girls in Troop 46485 ranging in age from 5 to 11 (kindergarten through 4th grade) and four leaders: Rochelle Nelson, Troop Leader and Daisy Leader; Holly King, Junior Leader; Ely Anderson, Daisy Leader; and Alexandria Romero, Brownie Leader. The Troop also donated 17 boxes of cookies to Military members via sales at their table as well as online.
