Girl Scout Troop 3823 has taken up a first-of-its-kind Bronze Award Project in the Lindenhurst community by installing a “Little Food Pantry” at the Rainbow Senior Citizens Community Center.
The Little Food Pantry, which applies the community library concept to food donations, will assist our neighbors who may be dealing with food insecurity by helping them stock their pantries with dry goods and canned goods. Operating on the honor system, the food items are intended for those in genuine need. While the Girl Scout Troop will monitor and continue to supply food items, it also encourages residents of Lindenhurst to donate food items. Dry goods and canned goods can be dropped off at the Rainbow Center, located at 293 Buffalo Avenue, Lindenhurst.
Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “The Little Food Pantry is a fantastic idea and will be a blessing to many individuals and families. I thank Troop 3823 for their hard work and for this contribution to our Lindenhurst community.”
