Toast is back, but so are beloved staples like Thin Mints and Caramel deLites! Don’t pass up the opportunity to stock up if you’re retiring after this season! Each packet of cookies costs $6.
Give cookies to veterans, first responders, and members of the armed forces as part of the Cookie Share Program to help local heroes. Donations can be made at cookie booths, online, or with order cards.
GSWNY Chief Executive Officer Cara Biddlecom expressed her excitement, saying: The Girl Scout Cookie Program is so much more than just selling cookies; it’s a chance for young people to learn vital life and business skills while also gaining courage, confidence, and character. Each package of cookies they sell serves as a symbol of their aspirations and encourages constructive community development. This season, we’re inviting everyone to visit cookie booths and meet these dynamic young businesspeople!
