The North Battleford Girl Guides have taken initiative to help the homeless and less fortunate people living in the North Battleford area.
Recently, the Pathfinder branch of the North Battleford Girl Guides wrote a letter to Mayor Ian Hamilton and city council members calling for action to end homelessness in the community.
The Girl Guides visited The Lighthouse Serving the Battlefords to assess the needs of individuals needing the assistance from this organization. The girls also organized a community service project they called " A Gift of Warmth.” This project involved the collection of gently used winter clothing such as scarves, mitts and toques, which they hung on trees in Central Park near the library. Each item carried the message "This item is not lost. It is a Warm Hug from the North Battleford Girl Guides to anyone in need."
