PASADENA—The highest award a Girl Scout can earn was presented to St. Joseph, Upland parishioner Jacqueline Withey at a reception in Pasadena on June 8.
Her Gold Award Project, organizing a community food and blanket outreach to the poor, was sparked by her concern for the underserved poor in her community.
“Because of unemployment and a poor economy, food banks are receiving less food donations,” Withey said.
