A local food pantry now has more on their shelves to help needy residents, thanks to area Girl Scouts.

On Saturday, April 23, 17 Cedar Springs Girls Scouts, including Daisy through Senior troops, held a neighborhood Food Scavenger Hunt. Items were assigned a point value, with items most needed by food banks being worth more points. The girls collected items throughout the morning and filled the pickup truck. Brownie Troop #4882 was the winner of the Scavenger Hunt Competition, but the real winner was the Cedar Springs Food Pantry at the United Methodist Church in Cedar Springs. All the non-perishable food items were donated to the pantry.

The Event was hosted by Senior Troop #3074.
