Here is Mallory Hobson of Girl Scout Troop 49876 with Dennis Lundberg, Associate Director of Janus Youth's Homeless Youth Programs. Over the past 10 months Mallory single-handedly organized her own community service project to benefit pets belonging to young people experiencing homelessness. She put together 25 "Pet-On-The-Go" bags containing essential items to keep pets safe and comfortable outdoors. This project involved formally presenting her idea to the Girl Scout Council for approval, finding suppliers for all the pet essentials, fundraising the necessary capital and crocheting squeaky chew-toys for dogs! The completed bags were delivered this week and will now be distributed to youth with pets by Janus Youth's Yellow Brick Road Street Outreach Program. On behalf of Janus Youth Programs we THANK YOU, Mallory! You are an exceptional young woman and we wish you the very best for your Girl Scout Gold Award!
