GIRL SCOUT COOKIES: Thought you missed out? 2 ways you can still get them

| How to help | West Seattle news

When the COVID-19 pandemic started spreading in our state, one of the many things it interrupted was Girl Scouts’ annual cookie sales. But there are now two ways you can get them:

ONLINE: Suzanne sent word of this. You can order cookies from Girl Scouts of Western Washington by going here – you can even specify if you’d like the proceeds to go to a specific zip code. Suzanne is also interested in figuring out how to get cookies to West Seattle first responders – if you’d like to help out with that, contact her at (corrected) szkrom (at) gmail (dot) com.

RETAIL: Bartell Drugs is helping Girl Scouts of WW sell some of the unsold cookies by carrying them in stores. The West Seattle-headquartered chain announced this week that “Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Lemon-Ups, Trefoils, S’mores, Do-Si-Dos and gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookies will be sold at neighborhood Bartell’s locations.” There are two stores in West Seattle – Admiral on 42nd just north of Admiral Way, and The Junction (Jefferson Square), plus one in White Center, at 15th/Roxbury.

If you’d like to donate Girl Scout cookies to first responders, the email in the article is incorrect. It should be szkrom (at) gmail (dot) com. I could use help in knowing how to go about this. I’d like to donate 50+ boxes to our West Seattle emergency responders if others would like to do this too.

Just fixed it; co-publisher responded to the text but didn’t tell me a correction needed to be made, but I re-check the hotline periodically and just saw it.

Hello!

Thank you so much for sharing about the Bartell/Girl Scouts of Western Washington partnership. And thank you, too, for sharing about the donation option for purchasing cookies online. We just wanted to clarify that all cookies that are donated online will be given to COVID-19 first responders, but we’re allowing the community to help us select where we donate. We can’t guarantee that cookies will go to a specific hospital or fire department, etc., but we will try our absolute best to accommodate the requests we receive. We have an online form to submit your suggestions for where we donate here: https://gsww.wufoo.com/forms/m1u5cs530mpg4vx/

We’d also like to clarify that you cannot specify that your proceeds from online cookie sales go to a specific zip code. What you can do is type in your zip code, and it will direct you to the local council that will supply your cookies. Proceeds from online sales go to support financial assistance and programming here in western Washington.

If folks do send us a note, and there are 50 boxes purchased, we do think we can likely fulfill that request, but for smaller donations, we can’t guarantee that, as we are dropping large quantities at each location. One cool partnership we have is with Shug’s Soda Fountain. Shug’s has a West Seattle pop-up, and has been a longtime supporter of Girl Scouts. We are donating some of the first responder cookies to them, as they are making ice cream sandwiches with our Lemon-Ups Cookies, to be delivered to a variety of first responders across Seattle! You can find a few examples on Shug’s and Girl Scouts of Western Washington’s social media. Thank you for supporting Girl Scouts!

Sorry, comment time is over.
