Cookie Share

The Cookie Share program was launched in 2004 as a result of the very successful Troop to Troop Cookie Caper the previous two years. Girls sell packages of cookies to customers, but instead of the customer taking delivery of the cookies, the cookies are donated to a recipient organization. This is a great option for people who would like to support Girl Scouts but don't want the cookies. The council takes care of delivering all the cookies to the recipient organization.

Last year, Girl Scouts from GSCGM collected an incredible 5,700 cases of cookies to be donated to military and food shelves. The recipient organizations for 2007 were the following: The Armed Forces Service Center, Operation MN Nice, Second Harvest Heartland Food Shelves, Sabathani Food Shelf, Emergency Food Shelf Network, and Interfaith Outreach and Community Partners, and the ACBC Food Shelves. For 2008 the recipients will be expanded to include military families, veterans, and other local food shelves.

STUDIO 2B members are encouraged to contact local civic organizations (such as the VFW, American Legion, Lion's Club, etc.) and make a presentation about Cookie Share in an effort to convince the organization to contribute to the cause.
