Our Mission
Hope in a Basket is a Girl Scouts Gold Award project rooted in Pasadena, California. We fill baskets with canned and nonperishable goods to ensure local neighbors facing hunger feel truly seen, supported, and nourished through our community's care.
Our initiative launches August 1st, 2026. Deliveries to the shelter begin November 8th, 2026, fulfilling all 100 baskets by Thanksgiving.
