On April 12, 2016, the Junior Girl Scouts from Troop #4158 finished their Agents of Change journey by planning and participating in a food drive at the Laurelton Library.

The Juniors were able to collect 153 cans, boxes, and bags of food, and received monetary donations totaling $50.00! All of the proceeds were donated to the Jamaica-Queens Wesleyan Church Food Pantry. The girls would like to especially thank all of the girls scouts from their troops #4154, #4156, #4164 who came by to support their cause; the Queens Borough Public Library for providing the location for the event and their assistance in distributing fliers about the event and the community.
