Fairfield Girl Scout Troops & Volunteers Donate 185 Dozen Cookies for Client Holiday Baskets
Fairfield Girl Scout Troop 30176 hosted its 9th Annual Cookie Platter Project for Operation Hope, making 185 cookie boxes of a dozen cookies each – that’s 2,220 cookies, if you’re counting! The troop solicited the help of other Girl Scout troops and local volunteers to provide treats. Hershey kisses and mini candy canes were also included in the treat boxes that will be gifted to our clients along with their December holiday meal baskets. The Scouts assembled the boxes at First Church Congregational and delivered them next door to us earlier this week. Thanks so much to all Fairfield Girl Scout troops and the many generous volunteers around town who provided cookies and treats, making the holidays sweet this season for our neighbors in need!
