Emily Hill

Emily Hill is a former member of Troop 2574 in the Girl Scouts of Wisconsin - Badgerland Council, Inc. and a 2015 Gold Award recipient.

For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, The Recipe Table, Emily realized while working at a food pantry, that there were many good items that families avoided taking because they didn't know how to use or cook the item.

Each month, Emily focused on an unpopular food item that was in stock. She researched and printed simple recipes each month, and the once unpopular food items soon started to disappear from the pantry shelves.

All the recipes have been compiled into the Food Pantry Cookbook, which has been distributed to other food pantries in Dane County.
