Junior Girl Scouts ask Barnegat board to help collect supplies for nonprofit Dignity Suds and Duds
Summary
Five junior Girl Scouts from Troop 50515 asked the board to promote a drive to collect laundry supplies and travel-size deodorants for the nonprofit Dignity Suds and Duds. The superintendent offered to circulate the troop's flyer to district schools if they provide details.
During public comment, five junior Girl Scouts from Troop 50515 asked the board to support their Bronze Award project by helping the nonprofit Dignity Suds and Duds, which provides free laundry access and supplies to unhoused community members.
The Scouts (Bella, Bridget, Ellie, Lily and Victoria) asked the district to publicize a requested-wishlist of items — including OxiClean, fabric softener and travel-size deodorant for men and women — and to permit a flyer or email to the school community. The troop said it will prepare a flyer for board approval to distribute to families.
Superintendent Dr. Lawless offered to have the superintendent’s office circulate the request to all schools if the troop forwards the list and logistics. Board members praised the Scouts’ initiative and community service.
No board action was required or taken on this item; the superintendent offered administrative support to help coordinate school-level collection efforts.
