Meet this week’s Kidsburgh Kind Kids: Daisy Girl Scout Troop 28016

For several months now, we’ve been celebrating random acts of kindness by individual Kidsburgh Kind Kids in our community. Parents have been writing in to tell us about the moments of giving that made them proud, and we’ve been gladly posting about the cool things these children choose to do.

This week, our Kidsburgh Kind Kid celebration is slightly different. We’re celebrating the efforts of a group of girls from Daisy Troop 28016, who went above and beyond in their community service project with 412 Food Rescue.

This group of young girls saved five pallets of leftover oranges, bananas, granola bars and donuts from ending up in a landfill and being wasted. They delivered this still-fresh food to communities in need by picking it up at Heinz Field and distributing it throughout Pittsburgh.

The food had been donated from a recent UMPC Cancer Walk & Run and went to multiple nonprofits in the area.

We were happy to send each of the Daisy volunteers a #bethekindkid t-shirt (kindly donated by our friends at Pittsburgh’s JAM Clubs!) to celebrate the effort they made. Thank you for spreading kindness in the Pittsburgh community, girls!
