Gift of Caring

We have great resources to help you advertise Girl of Caring at your booth! Some customers may not want to purchase cookies for dietary or other reasons, but still want to support Girl Scouts. The Gift of Caring program is the perfect solution! Gift of Caring is a GS NorCal community service project in which girls sell "virtual" cookies to be donated to an organization. Cookie customers may choose to buy cookies and then have them donated to the military for troops overseas or to a local food bank.

How to Accept a Gift of Caring Donation

Customers receive a donation receipt for their purchase. The customer receives the white copy; the girls keep the yellow copy to turn in with the money to their Troop Cookie Manager.

GSNorCal coordinates the donations at the end of the sale. Gift of Caring cookies are virtual; troops do not actually distribute the cookies.

Girls participating in the Gift of Caring program will earn a Gift of Caring patch. If a Gift of Caring is sold at a booth sale, all girls working the booth will receive a patch. The number of girls participating in Gift of Caring should be indicated on the Incentives tab in eBudde.

eBudde automatically includes Gift of Caring orders on the Troop Sales Report.
