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! Conducting service projects during Girl Scout Week or on Thinking Day is a great way to give back to our community while expressing enthusiasm for the Girl Scout Movement.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Feeding Florida Together 2019! We had over 1,500 Girl Scouts in 137 Troops gathered over 15,852 pounds of food during the month of April! The non-perishable food items were delivered to 44 different drop-off locations located throughout our 6 county area.

Thank you to the 1,300 girls who participated in the first year of the Earth Defenders program! You all made an incredible impact defending the Earth with your community service projects. We are so proud of all of the hard work our Girl Scouts did to keep our environment clean, conserve resources, help wildlife, and so much more. Check back for details to participate in fall of 2019!
Thank you to everyone who participated in Drive the Food! Girl Scouts picked up just over 28,000 boxes of food from the 2 pick-up locations with roughly 2000 girls participating in total. Food was distributed to schools, afterschool programs, senior centers, churches and food banks throughout our 6 county area.
For our 2018 Council-wide community service project, GSSEF was presented with a unique opportunity to partner with Living Hungry, a local nonprofit whose initiative addresses food insecurity in our communities! Instead of gathering the food ourselves, Living Hungry provided boxes of nonperishable food and snacks for our troops to help distribute to communities in need – kind of like a reverse food drive.
