Orange resident and member of Scout Troop 41 Adam Glassman completed his Eagle Scout Community Service Project on Oct. 17 by distributing 200 hygiene kits at the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen in New Haven.
Glassman and organized fellow Scouts and supervised them in putting the kits together. Each kit contained soap, shampoo, a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and razors. Men’s kits contained shaving cream and women’s kits contained feminine hygiene products.
Glassman came up with the project concept, researched it and got approval to proceed. He partnered with the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen to raise $2,600 and solicited donations for products needed to build the kits. He managed the process from start to finish. His team worked 115 person hours.
