Girl Scout troops 215 and 484 (both from Smoky Row Elementary) partnered with Peapod through their Healthy Kids Give Back campaign. Peapod supplied materials and activities for the girls to learn about healthy eating and being active. After completing the curriculum, each troop received a gift card for $200 to place an online order. A total of $400 was donated by Peapod. The food was delivered to the food pantry at Carmel United Methodist Church on Tuesday, March 31. The girls unloaded the groceries and carried them inside. They unpacked the food onto the shelves and then learned about how the food pantry operates. The girls choose to donate gallons of milk, dozens of eggs, bread and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are healthy items that are not usually donated through food drives and are very much appreciated.
