The Girl Scouts annually participate in a community service project in November called the Festival of Giving.

This year, the Scouts of service unit 74 donated supplies to the First Step Housing program, which helps those who may be struggling with homelessness transition into more stable permanent housing.

The girls donated items the participants could use while they're in First Step program and baskets of items they can use when they leave the program for their new homes.

Participating troops included 12262, 11203, 11220, 10095 and 11261.
