Donations benefit Loaves & Fishes and Ada Jenkins.  While any food you can donate is appreciated, they’re requesting no jars or glass. (Check donations work, too. Make them out to Meck 1 Girl Scouts).

You may also drop off food in advance. There will be a Rubbermaid bin on the front porch of 17935 Peninsula Club Drive North.
