Girl Scout Service Unit 154, comprising seven local girl scout troops, worked with community organizations throughout the month of December to collect food for food pantries in Berlin, Grafton, Petersburgh and Stephentown and at the Berlin Elementary School. Their efforts resulted in 500 pounds of donated food and several generous donations of cash.
