Girl Scouts Sponsoring Orphan Grain Train Donation Drive

Neligh-Oakdale Brownie Girl Scout Troop #50336 is currently seeking community help for their 2016-2017 “take action project”.

The Neligh-Oakdale Girl Scouts have been learning about girls and their lifestyles from around the world this year so they decided they would like to try and help girls from around the world.

Neligh-Oakdale Girl Scouts will be collecting items at various locations around town for about three weeks through the month of May to donate to Orphan Grain Train, based out of Norfolk, NE. The organization helps people around the world and also stateside as needed or in times of natural disasters.
