Girl Scouts have always believed that real change happens when people come together with purpose. Our Girl Scouts are learning that giving back is not just an activity, it is a responsibility, a mindset, and a commitment to making our communities stronger.
But we can’t do it alone.
We are challenging our community to join the cause. Whether through time, resources, mentorship, or simple acts of kindness, every contribution matters. When adults step forward to support service projects, volunteer efforts, and community initiatives, we show our children what leadership truly looks like.
This is more than just helping others with compassion, accountability, and unity. Together, we can create a culture where giving back isn’t just an option but a way of life, where our children see a community that shows up, lifts each other up, and leads with heart.
The Girl Scout Troop 11298 is ready, and so is Little Dillons on Hall Street! We are now asking the community to stand with us.
Girl Scout Troop 11298 of Hays invites the community to give back in a simple yet meaningful way by donating new personal hygiene items while shopping.
The troop has partnered with High Plains Mental Health Center, specifically the Crisis Intervention Center (CIC), which is scheduled to open in May 2026, to help ensure that individuals aged 18 and older have access to essential hygiene supplies.
When and where
Troop members will be stationed at Little Dillons on Hall Street in Hays throughout the weekend of Feb. 6, collecting donations.
What to donate
Community members are encouraged to purchase extra items on their way out, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrushes, or toothpaste.
Through this effort, Girl Scouts are learning the importance of service and compassion as they work alongside the community to support the future Crisis Intervention Center. The public is encouraged to visit Dillons on Hall Street in Hays to support the new Crisis Intervention Center in our community.
If your organization would like to join Troop 11298’s mission, collaborate on future service projects, or share ideas that can further support the Hays community, the troop welcomes your involvement.
Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference, one thoughtful act at a time.
