Local Girl Scout Troops Take Part in ‘Cookies for Heroes Project’

From the end of October thru November 8th Girl Scout Troops throughout Connecticut took part in the "Cookies for Heroes Project"

Over the last few weeks Girl Scouts across the state were at polling stations during election day and other area locations selling Girl Scout cookies.

According to Danbury Daily Voice, many of the Girl Scout Troops also offered customers the opportunity to participate in the Girl Scouts of Connecticut’s Gift of Caring project, "Cookies for Heroes." The program gives customers the chance to say “thank you” to local heroes, veterans and active duty members of the military with a box of Girl Scout cookies.

Girl Scouts of Connecticut has partnered with several organizations to distribute cookies. Some of the organizations include Marine Parents, Molly’s Adopt a Sailor, Home for the Brave, Project Hometown Support, Operation Gift Card, Blue Star Mothers, AMVETS, Marine Corps Auxiliary, Project from the Heart and Veterans of Foreign War.

Every year the Girl Scout's send cookies to our Military women and men here and overseas. You can still support our Troops by purchasing an extra box or more of your favorite Girl Scout Cookies and they will send them for you. You can also help by sending a free CookiEmail message of support. Just visit cookiesforheroto to get started.
