There are two ways to purchase cookies online. One is to go to https://www.girlscouts.org/en/cookie-ca ... uy-cookies and enter your zip code. You may then select cookies that are direct ship to your address, or you may donate to Cookies4Heros. A troop randomly selected in or near your zip code will receive the proceeds from the sale. These sales do not reduce troop cookie supply, will help with their sales shortfall.
Another way to order is to go to https://www.gssjc.org/en/cookies/2020-c ... ogram.html. This is the website for the regional council in the Houston area (San Jacinto area). Select “Cookies+”, and then “Find Cookies” You then have the option to buy or donate, but there are further choices to buy out a cookie booth, have a troop deliver to your door (once social distancing restrictions are lifted), direct ship to you, or you can chose to donate to organizations of your choice. A troop with current inventory is randomly selected in the San Jacinto area to receive the proceeds from the sale. Most of you don’t live in Texas, but some other regional councils have established similar websites you can Google.
A donation is a great way to show gratitude towards first responders and our frontline medical help now. And these purchases allow Girl Scouts USA to help specific troops whose sales have been severely impacted. These online sales are planned through April 26 for now.
It can also be quite stimulating to munch a Thin Mint as you struggle with a meta, and when you’re done, celebrate with another one and wash it down with a Guinness.
