My name is Brianna Brady and I am a Life Scout and the Senior Patrol Leader of Scouts BSA Troop 1150 in Sparta, NJ. The final requirement that I need to complete to become an Eagle Scout is a community service project.

For my Eagle Project, I will be making Grab Bags for children within the foster care system. These bags will be distributed to children when they first enter foster care or when they are relocated to a new home. These bags will help children adapt and feel more comfortable as they enter new and unfamiliar homes. I understand that foster kids often move with little to no possessions. The grab bags will differ based on the age and gender of the child, but will generally include crafts, games, toys, books, snacks and toiletries (i.e., deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, etc.). I will be running a donation drive to collect items for these kits, but also need money to purchase supplemental items. That’s where you come in! Please help and donate whatever you can to help me reach my goal of $3,000. Thank you so much for your help!

In addition, please keep on the lookout for the announcements for the drives. They will be taking place on April 30th and May 27th in various locations throughout Byram and Sparta. Not only will I be looking for donations, but I will also need help at the drop sites, sorting materials and building the grab bags.

I appreciate all of your support!
