Better our community one service project at a time
As Girl Scouts we promise to “help people at all times” and “make the world a better place”. What better way to demonstrate our commitment to Girl Scouting than providing community service! Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida provides opportunities for everyone to come together year-round to participate in council-wide community service projects.

Feeding Florida Together
April 1-30, 2026
Every spring, Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida work together to organize food drives and feed our communities as part of our council-wide community service project. We ask that troops or families gather together to start their food drive during the month of April. You can donate to any organization you would like, and we have some suggested recipient sites below.
Girl Scouts can choose to donate their time instead of donating goods. A minimum of 3 hours (or one volunteer shift) must be completed at an organization battling hunger in our community to qualify for the free patch.
In our 2025 Feeding Florida Together project, 934 girls across 88 Troops collected and donated over 10,000 pounds of nonperishable food and volunteered 350 hours of their time, making a significant impact to fight hunger in our communities.
In order to receive the FREE Feeding Florida Together 2026 patch, your troop must complete the online donation form by May 7, 2026. The first 1,000 GSSEF Girl Scout participants will receive a patch.
