Girls stock closet for Rescue Mission
In collaboration with the San Diego Rescue Mission, Alexis Bernabe and Natalie Krebs collected more than 16 bags full of gently worn clean clothing for boys and girls at the mission as their project for the Girl Scouts Silver Award.
The two Scouts, members of Scripps Ranch Girl Scouts Troop 8837, sorted the clothing and put it into the shelves of the in-house clothing closet for the San Diego Rescue Mission. The closet of clothes is sorted by size, gender and clothing type. It provides a stylish and dignified way for children in need to choose clothing.
Using social media as their portal, they also created awareness of the needs of homeless teenagers in San Diego County.
