Cookie Sale Program — Gift of Caring

There are three ways to participate in Gift of Caring:

  • One Organization: The troop chooses an organization in your community that they would like to support with packages of donated Girl Scout Cookies (senior centers, women’s and children’s shelters, local food pantries, etc.).
  • Hometown Heroes: The troop decides to recognize your own “Hometown Heroes” – women and men working to support your community as firefighters, EMTs, police officers, etc.
  • Operation Cookie: The troop decides to send their donated cookies to our servicewomen and servicemen in military service all over the world.

While order taking, Girl Scouts ask their customers if they would like to purchase an additional package of cookies to be donated to the Gift of Caring organization that the troop has chosen. Girls explain that this is a Girl Scout Community Service Project. It is also a great way for customers who, due to dietary or other reasons, do not wish to bring a box of cookies home, but would still like to support the Girl Scouts.

If the customer has only purchased cookies for Gift of Caring, this is the only time where girls will collect money when taking the order, because there will be no delivery. If the same customer has ordered both cookies for Gift of Caring and for themselves, you may collect the payment for all the cookies at the time of delivery.

Troops should also promote their Gift of Caring project at booth sales.

Each troop will deliver the Gift of Caring cookies to their chosen organization or to their Hometown Heroes, or bring them to a Girl Scout Service Center to be sent to Operation Cookie.

Annual Operation Cookie Project… Last year, troops, with the public’s help, donated almost 9,000 packages of cookies for Operation Cookie.  These were shipped by the NH Air National Guard to our servicewomen and servicemen all over the world.  Bring your donated cookies to one of the Council Service Centers (Bedford NH, Essex VT, Keene NH, Littleton NH, Rutland VT) by Friday, April 9, 2010, and we’ll take care of the rest! Encourage your girls to make cards and letters of support to be sent with the cookies. We know they’re always appreciated.
