Good Turn for Goodwill
Girls give back to their communities!
The 3rd Annual Good Turn for Goodwill service project is coming up! This event, open to all Girl Scouts in the council, allows the girls to give back to their communities by collecting material donations for Goodwill stores in their area. By collecting gently used items which are recycled and sold in stores, Girl Scouts can help provide jobs and opportunities for people with disabilities and barriers. New this year: Goodwill is offering a drop-off location in Colby!
Participating Girl Scouts can pick up bags at any Goodwill location after April 13th, though donated items not in Goodwill bags will still be counted. Tally sheets and items must be dropped off by April 21st. Following the completion of this service project, each registered participating Girl Scout will receive a patch and prizes. Troops collecting the most donated items per troop member receive a Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake and a Pizza Hut Pizza party!
Registration is required for troops or individuals. Click here to see more details. Any questions about the event can be directed to Sharrilyn Smith with Goodwill, at 316-744-9291 Ext. 109 or ssmith@goodwillks.org.
