Four Garden City Girl Scouts earning their Silver Award are raising awareness of hunger on Long Island.
Siobhan Coen, Kiera Guarino, Rachael Glynn and Caity Bianchi have been hard at work running food drives and collecting more than 280 pounds of groceries for the Mary Brennan INN, a soup kitchen in Hempstead.
During their food drives they are informing the public that our local food pantry runs low during the summer and that donations are always welcome.
In addition to the food drives the girls made and delivered 300 sandwiches to help feed the hungry at the Mary Brennan INN.
The girls have more "Helping Hands" projects under way, including working with a younger Girl Scout troop, to complete their Silver Award by the end of the summer.
