The Mamaroneck Girl Scouts are taking advantage of the hot
weather by doing their part in helping local businesses that were impacted by
COVID-19 in their community.
The Scouts, along with over 30 volunteers, are assembling
flower pots and planters at St. Anthony’s Church, which will be delivered to
local restaurants to help beautify outdoor dining areas.
"It's just about coming out better from this pandemic
and organizing as a community to make Mamaroneck Avenue a destination again,”
says Amy Siskind, the event’s organizer.
The project received funding from the Mamaroneck Chamber of
Commerce, which included buying pots, soil, flowers and other tools needed to
make it happen.
A volunteer told News 12 that the choice of tropical
flowers and plants were intentionally chosen since they will not attract bees
to dining areas.
