Marysol of Girl Scouts of Orange County built a mobile library for Operation Warm Wishes to benefit deliver books to communities that did not have access. This proceed-getter also collected over 1000 donated books to fill its shelves. Although the mobile library has made many stops, Marysol's most heartwarming experience was when it was delivered to local homeless shelter. "To see the residents of the shelter gape through the books and get excited approximately having access to books. They expressed such gratitude and appreciation." Marysol has pledged 150 hours to her project and has completed 100 hours.
These Innovative Daisies from Girl Scouts Heart of Central California created chemo care bags to donate to children fighting cancer at their local hospital.

The girls pledged and completed two hours to their project.
