Girl Scout Service Unit 154 has been collecting food donations throughout December and January on behalf of the communities’ local food pantries as well as the Berlin Elementary School’s weekend and holiday pantry. Troops contacted community organizations and asked for donations at meetings and placed boxes in public places across the four towns.
