Each October, Products for Peace creates and runs local product donation drives that help victims of domestic violence. We invite the community to donate personal care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion to our distinctive purple boxes. Baby items such as diapers, wipes and baby wash are needed for the little ones too. All of the donations are taken to a local domestic violence shelter for women and children.
Products for Peace was created by a California Bay Area Girl Scout troop in 2018. As the Girl Scout troop graduated from high school, so did Products for Peace. 2022 sees Products for Peace continuing its work, with future plans to grow statewide and nationally.
We invite you to help us help victims of domestic violence.
Please contact us if you'd like to help in the future and host a collection box, help us get the word out with promotional space, or if you would like to make arrangements for your donations.
Keep your eyes open for posters and purple donation boxes in the areas of our local chapters. Drop your donations into any box you see and our local chapter members will gather the donations and deliver them to a domestic violence shelter.
Using our minds, hearts, strengths, and desires to make the world a better place, we created our
program,
PRODUCTS FOR PEACE.
We connect our energy and ideas with our community to gather and donate products to women and girls in need. Together we show love and give help to girls and women who need support.
We bring a plan and action to help where we can, and kindness and support to the recipient. We can make a long-lasting difference.
The Girl Scout Way and Promise are excellent words to live by— it's a promises to serve and to help others .
Our founding members started scouting as tiny Daisies, never stopped, and graduated as Ambassador Girl Scouts. Philanthropy and giving back was always the troop focus throughout the years of adventures, learning, cookies sales, community service and fun. As we grew up together so did our ability to serve. We created Products for Peace as a troop philanthropy project as high school Girl Scouts
Founding members of Products for Peace are looking ahead to a robust nationwide organization. Currently we are expanding the organization, the important awareness of domestic violence, and the community giving campaigns by running donation drives in the local college communities of founding members who are caring the torch forward. It's a first step towards our nationwide goal.
It's important work, an important message, and some very important help and hope for the victims who receive your thoughtful donations.
