This week's photo comes from our Girl Scout Shop, where we're all decked out and ready for April Showers!

"Personal care items are not a luxury, they are a necessity," says Donna K. Martin, CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri. "Having good hygiene and maintaining good health are important for a positive self-image and sense of well-being. Through this exceptional community service project, Girl Scouts and our generous community members help supply essential items for local families in need."

The Girl Scouts' April Showers program provides 99% of all personal care items distributed in our region, according to Operation Food Search. GSEM is also trying to set a Guinness World Record by collecting 1.2 million personal care items this year!
