Dear Editor,
Thanks to the caring citizens living in Santa Clara County, the Girl Scouts will be sending more than 40,000 boxes of those irresistible Girl Scout cookies to U.S. military troops overseas.
The Red Cross will be sending the first shipment overseas starting this week. The Girl Scouts partnered with the Red Cross this cookie season which ended March 20 here in Santa Clara County.
The partnership with the Red Cross made it possible for anyone to purchase cookies and donate their purchase specifically to our troops overseas.
The Girl Scouts of Santa Clara County had a goal to send 10,000 boxes of cookies through community donations but they far exceeded that goal with help from the community.
Selling cookies is an important learning experiences for girls but the Cookie Share program made this year’s sale extra special. We had no idea the community would respond so generously.
More than 3,500 girls took part in making this sweet send off come to life. Cookies can still be purchased for donations until May 1. For cookie donations call 408-287-4170 ext. 242.
Linda Parriott, Girl Scouts of Santa Clara County
