Troop Proceeds
Gift of Caring

Gift of Caring is a great way to support military personnel, community organizations, essential workers, and Girl Scouts at the same time!

During the fall product program, customers can donate money directly to Girl Scouts, which will then be used to purchase nuts and/or magazines that are sent to organizations that bring comfort to the women and men serving in the armed forces.

For those customers who may not want to purchase nuts or candy for themselves, the Gift of Caring (Care to Share) donation program is a perfect solution!

Last year, our council donated more than 14,000 items!

To participate, a customer simply pays the funds and marks "Care to Share" on the order card or in the online storefront. When a girl collects seven or more donations, she'll earn the Care to Share patch!
