‘Baby Shower’ helps homeless
Faithful Shepherd Catholic School fifth-grade Girl Scout Troop 52688 collected six shopping carts full of baby items that troop members delivered to Dakota Woodlands Homeless Shelter on April 17 to benefit residents with infants and toddlers. The eight troop members collected the donations at a “Baby Shower” event they planned, hosted and implemented for other Girl Scout troops on April 14 at Faithful Shepherd. Eagan’s St. Thomas Becket Catholic Church parishioners and parish youth group also donated to the collection. More than 35 baby shower event participants made 11 fleece tie blankets for Dakota Woodlands families, participated in information sessions (planned and led by Troop 52688 members) to learn more about Dakota Woodlands, and made crafts. The event enabled the troop to complete its Bronze Award. – Photo submitted
