2023 Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Sponsorship Booklet
April 5-7, 2024
Together, Girl Scouts make a difference – and strive to make lives better -- through community service initiatives like April Showers. April Showers is Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri’s largest annual community service event, as well as the ONLY large-scale personal care item drive in the region. Throughout the month of April, Girl Scouts collect 1 million+ personal care items (deodorant, toothpaste, diapers, first aid items, feminine hygiene products, soap, and more). Those items are then distributed to local pantries by our Girl Scouts with additional support provided by Operation Food Search. Not only do our Girl Scouts serve our 28-county region through April Showers, but they also gain valuable insight into the needs of their communities and the change they can spark there with their actions alone. I think it is important to participate in April Showers because it’s a way to give to people who are having a hard time getting what they need. Everyone deserves the basic things in life to care for themselves, and we as Girl Scouts have the power to bring that to people. -Dana C., Girl Scout Alum
