order to foster compassion in area youth toward animals. “It’s very encouraging to see that our youth are learning to step up and do more to help the commu- nity and to help the animals in the community,” said Evans. “It’s just encouraging to see kids wanting to be involved in the community and want to make a difference in the lives of animals and people.” Chloe and Kaitlyn began work- ing on their project in June of this year and have spent over 60 hours constructing and painting the two donation boxes. “We did everything with this project with the help of our fami- lies and friends,” said Jones. “We built the boxes, we painted the boxes, we worked on getting the supplies, [and] we created letters to different people finding places we could put these boxes.” On Saturday, September 19, Chloe and Kaitlyn placed their completed pet food pantries in Queen Bee Coffee Company on the McDonough Square and at Tractor Supply in McDonough. A plaque placed on both of the finished pantries reads, “Teamed with Henry County Animal Ini- tiative, the pet pantry was created to give animal lovers in the area a place to donate canned pet food to local animal rescues. Please help a cat or dog in need.” The girls hope that members of the community will make dona- tions to the pantry to help address the needs of area animal rescues. “I definitely hope that everyone takes the opportunity to donate to rescues and even decide to donate more than just canned food and help as much as they can,” said Mevissen. “Hopefully this gets everyone interested in helping all the animals.” Both Chloe and Kaitlyn are grateful for the experience of cre- ating the pantries and are even more excited that they could com- plete the project together. “It’s been a lot of fun. I love helping the community and being able to do it with my best friend makes it a whole lot better,” said Mevissen. “I’m glad to be able to help a lot of people and animals especially. I loved doing it. It’s been an amazing experience.” “It made it really easy to com- municate and this project was re- ally fun being able to do it with my best friend,” said Jones. “Helping others has always been a passion of mine, so being able to help the community with a project like this has been a mas- sive honor.” Both girls plan to remain with the Girl Scouts through high school and to pursue their Gold Awards.
