Selling Girl Scout Cookies Locally And For The Military
Girl Scouts of Connecticut are filling trucks full of cookies to send to military personnel abroad.
The Girl Scouts of Connecticut hosted a Fill the Truck event on Saturday at the Meadowview Plaza on 175 West Rd. (Rte. 83) in Ellington.
Girl Scout volunteers and members helped fill a truck with Girl Scout Cookies for the Cookies for Heroes program, a service project that allows community members to purchase cookies and have them sent to military personnel around the world.
The donors were also able to write notes to the service women and men who will receive cookies through the Cookies for Heroes program.

Last year, Girl Scouts of Connecticut sent 100,000 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies to military troops around the world. For more information on the project visit www.gsofct.org or www.cookiesforheroes.com.
