Cookies Care- Giving Thanks to Community Heroes

We want to give a shout out to all our innovative Girl Scouts who continue to get Girl Scout Cookies to customers digitally, including cookies to be donated to first responders, health care workers and others. These cookies are becoming sweet thank yous. We've received heartwarming stories and photos from some of the recipients and want to share with you in this blog. Keep up the great work Girl Scouts! 

Girl Scout Sarah  and her troop donated 21 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters’ (CHKD) COVID-19 Incident Command Center with the assistance of her mother, Dr. Laura Sass, Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist at CHKD, who by the way is also a Girl Scout volunteer!



"I wanted to help out the troop while bringing in some sunshine into the hospital for my co-workers," Dr. Sass said.

Troop 5003, donated 106 boxes of cookies to Riverside Doctor’s Hospital in Williamsburg. The frontline employees were overwhelmed with joy! 



Girl Scouts from Troop 186 donated two cases of cookies to Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center staff! 



Girl Scout Daisy Jasmine of Troop 1013  asked her family and friends to purchase cookies for donation to the Riverside Regional Medical Center. In just 5 days of beginning, she was able to donate 85 boxes of cookies to the hospital. 




Girl Scout Juniors Audrey Hofman and Claire Helmick made silk flowers and Easter cards for residents at a local rehabilitation center. 




We love hearing about all of the ways Girl Scouts are giving their gratitude to those who serve! Visit GSCCC's Cookies Care page if you are interested in donating a box  of cookies to our community heroes.
