Help Support an Eagle Scout Service Project

One of the scouts from Pender’s Boy Scout Troop 1530 is currently working toward his Eagle Scout rank—the highest achievement in Scouting.

As part of his Eagle Scout service project, Abraham is collecting new toiletries for Western Fairfax Christian Ministries (WFCM) to help support individuals and families in our local community.

Donations will be accepted at Pender through March 29.

Items needed include:

Shampoo and conditioner
Body wash and soap
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
Deodorant
Lotion
Diapers
Feminine pads

Every item makes a difference and helps care for neighbors in need. Thank you for supporting Abraham’s project and the important work of WFCM!

You can drop off donated items for the Eagle Scout Project in the brown collection box just inside Pender’s front entrance.
