Gift of Caring

The Gift of Caring service project is a great way to support local Girl Scouts and provide comfort to military personnel. Once the cost of the cookies is covered, 100% of the proceeds stay in the community to fund Girl Scout activities and community service projects.

In 2020, more than 230,000 boxes of cookies were collected for Gift of Caring by our Girl Scouts.

Even in these unprecedented times, we were able to distribute the “gift of caring” to the many including the essential workers. This small gift brought pure joy and gratitude to the recipients and they shared how much it means that we are thinking of them.
