White Rock Elementary Girl Scouts are collecting books for Feed Lake Highlands
Did you miss dropping off books for the Richardson ISD PTA Book Fair? No worries. The 5th grade Girl Scouts from White Rock Elementary are working on their Bronze Award, and they’re hosting a book drive to benefit Feed Lake Highlands.
The Bronze Award is the highest honor Junior Girl Scouts can earn, and part of Troop 2102’s project involves collecting diversity-themed books for the after-school library at Feed Lake Highlands. Feed LH, which serves low-income residents along the Whitehurst corridor, provides after school help, summer camp opportunities and food distribution to children and families in need. Currently, Feed LH is driving an old-fashioned book mobile directly into the parking lot of apartment complexes to allow children to check out books. Once their in person after-school program resumes, the library will open inside Feed LH’s facility at 10061 Whitehurst.
The Girl Scouts will gratefully accept new or used books of any kind, which may be dropped on the porch at 9711 Parkford any time before March 28. Age-appropriate selections will go directly to Feed Lake Highlands, and others will be sold to purchase additional books and library supplies. You may also purchase books from their “wish list” here.
