Eagle Project Donation

 

Michael Rich who is an Eagle Candidate for Troop 77 made an amazing donation for the children of Marion County who are being removed from their homes and placed in foster care. This project is part of the process of him becoming an eagle Scout. He coordinated the sewing of 200 gallon sized cloth draw string bags as well as collected the items below to fill 100 of the bags. This project will now allow the children to enter into the foster home with these items as well as have a bag to put the items from their home that they are able to take with them.

Bags are filled with:

toothbrush & paste

brush or comb

deodorant

snack

toy

underwear

socks

pillowcase
