Dear Girl Scout Troops:
In the last five years, through the Gift of Caring Program,
the Girl Scouts of the Arizona Cactus-Pine Council have donated
65,670 boxes of cookies to mmmilk and Cookie Mania at
St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance. That is equal to 65,670 smiling
Arizona kids who don't have the luxury of eating cookies or other
treats; their families don't always know if there will even be food
for the table every day.
And, along with those boxes of cookies, Shamrock Farms matched each
donated package and donated 50,000 servings of farm fresh milk.
Thank you to all of the girls who have participated in this program.
This year we are launching a new program, Make Hunger Crumble:
Cookies for a Cause. Once again, we will rely on your community
involvement, asking the public to donate a box of cookies to a family
in need. With each box of cookies accompanying one of our Emergency
Food Boxes, you are bringing hope to Arizona families; you are
standing side by side St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance as we work to
eliminate hunger.
We truly appreciate your commitment to the community. Together,
let's make hunger crumble in 2008!
