SUGAR GROVE – Girl Scout Troop 36682 of Sugar Grove had a food drive this year to help the Sugar Grove Free Methodist Church Food pantry.

The troop has been doing this for many years. Still, this year, leader Shauna Sanders upped the ante by making a deal that for every 10 items donated, they could pie a leader in the face.

“We had over 800 items collected to donate to the food pantry, and over 80 pies were thrown,” said Sanders.

Sanders has been leading Troop 36682 since 2013 and credits the others who volunteer with her.

“I have nine other leaders and three helpers within my group in Sugar Grove. Without them, I couldn’t keep 50 girls going in our troop.,” Sanders said. “The food pantry is amazing; it helps so many families. The girls love doing it. “Whipped cream, however, is no longer our favorite.”

Members of the Sugar Grove Girl Scout Troop line up to pie leaders as reward for food pantry items donated.

Sugar Grove Free Methodist Church’s food pantry is located at 210 Jamestown St., Sugar Grove. It is open Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and can be attended once a month.

Starting at $2.99/week.
