Girl Scout Abby Wilson Turns Plastic Lids Into Community Impact

Tonight on The Mark White Show, I’m joined by Nicky Wilson and her daughter, Girl Scout Abby Wilson. Abby recently completed a remarkable Silver Award project that brought the Madison City community together in a big way.

What began as a simple request for neighbors to save their plastic lids grew into a collection of 650 pounds of recyclable material. Thanks to the generosity of local families and fire stations who served as drop off points, those lids were transformed into two buddy benches and two toddler picnic tables.

Nicky and Abby will share how the project came together, why it mattered, and how other civic groups can do something similar. It’s a great example of leadership, service, and the power of community support.
