Earning Brownie Points

Today I opened up Metro Relief for a special tour for these cuties!  Brownie troop #6426 is work on a philanthropy badge.  They are learning about giving back to the community.  

I had the privileged of taking the girls around the pantry showing them what we do and why we do it.  The girls were great at helping answer questions about why someone might need a little help, whether it be to job loss or family illness.  

The girls came with donations of cookies for our guests.  They circled dates on food and helped Ms. Frankie get ready for Monday's pantry.  Ms. Gina got to visit with the moms and give them information on how they can help local pantries.  

It was a really energetic, sweet group!  Two of the girls, Bethany and Elizabeth are the sweet younger sisters of three of my Bible Bowlers, Zach, Robert and Henry.  They are wonderful friends we've loved on since before the girls were born! They've joined us at the pantry volunteering quite a few times, it was great to watch the girls excitement as they shared it with their friends! So sweet! 

You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the sojourners who are in your land within your towns. Deuteronomy 24:14
