Got Sleep? Share some with Fisher House

by Beth Talley
Troop S/A 802 leader


“Got Sleep? Share Some With Fisher House” will be the Gold Award project for Katherine Talley, Ramstein ambassador Girl Scout.

Katherine will be working with the Landstuhl Fisher House, promoting their mission and the support they give to military members and families that use their facilities while seeking medical attention.

Katherine’s project will focus around the need for new pillows and blankets for both Landstuhl Fisher Houses. Pillows are rotated out after six months of use, depleting their inventory quickly. The Fisher House is also in need of new blankets. 

Katherine will also be collecting and promoting the ongoing need for individual convenience food items and cleaning supplies used by Fisher House guests.

Individual food items needed include fruit cups, macaroni and cheese cups, granola bars, Cup Noodles, cheese and crackers, peanut butter and crackers, Campbell’s Soup at Hand microwaveable soups, pudding cups, Chef Boyardee microwaveable pasta bowls, tuna meal kits, Pop Tarts, apple cider/cocoa packets and tea bags (non-flavored).

Cleaning supplies needed include paper towels, high efficiency laundry detergent, regular laundry detergent, and Tilex Fresh Shower daily shower cleanser refill (no bleach).

Katherine will also be promoting sleep awareness by sharing benefits and tips for better sleep at her project booths.

The community can support Katherine’s Gold Award project during her project drive from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Project booths will be located at the three main entrances to the Exchange in the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center. 

Needed food items and cleaning supplies can be donated and dropped off at any of the three booth locations along with donations toward the purchase of 50 new pillows and 44 new blankets.

Katherine and the Landstuhl Fisher House appreciate any support that can be given.
