December Friends



 

For Girl Scouts we decided to tackle the Philanthropy badge.  The girls and their families chose their favorite soup, made a big batch, and sent it, along with the recipe, to our refugee family.  A couple of the girls joined in the delivery.  We also brought some materials to make DIY ornaments with the family for their new Christmas tree!
