CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio — Chagrin Falls Mayor Bill Tomko began the September 23 Village Council Meeting recognizing Girl Scout Troop 71359 for their efforts in raising awareness and resources for the Rescue Village Food Pantry. The ultimate goal is for pet owners to use the food in the Rescue Village Food Pantry, instead of giving up the pet due to the lack of food.
Troop 71359 used the community booth at the village’s farmer market to spread the word about the need for donations to Rescue Village’s food pantry. Mayor Tomko commended the Girl Scout Troop for their efforts and believed Rescue Village appreciated their work to highlight the need for food for needy pets.
