Thank you Girl Scout Troop 1174

Girl Scouts

 

Many thanks to Meg Webster and Girl Scout Troop #1174 for organizing a very successful towel drive for TCAA's Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) and Tempe Leadership Class XXV "Shower Power Project." Troop #1174 is a group of 25 girls ranging from ages 5 to 16, based out of Bethany Learning Center and Bethany Christian School. The troop set a goal of collecting 100 towels, and ended up collecting 134 towels. These towels are being distributed to various homeless outreach ministries and I-HELP host sites. 

 

Way to go Troop #1174 for doing such a valuable community service project. Thanks for all the hard work and efforts you put towards organizing this valuable community service drive!

Thanks to everyone for making I-HELP a success!!
