Girl Scout Troop 6000 gained significant attention three years ago when they joined the annual cookie sale initiative. In 2018, this group, made up of girls from New York City homeless shelters, sold an incredible 32,500 boxes of cookies. Now, in 2021, you can help them achieve even greater success.
According to Travel + Leisure, the first Girl Scout troop for homeless girls is selling cookies priced between $5 and $6 per box. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many troops have shifted from physical sales to the Girl Scout Cookie Care digital platform. This change makes it simpler for people nationwide to support their preferred troop, including Troop 6000.
Located in Queens, this Girl Scout troop brings together thousands of girls from shelters across New York City. They meet weekly, guided by homeless women and local volunteers. With homelessness in New York reaching its highest levels in nearly 100 years, the community and support offered by this troop are more crucial than ever.
In 2021, Troop 6000 set a target to sell 620,000 boxes of cookies, a milestone they reached ahead of schedule. You can still support the troop by buying cookies from their online store, helping cover costs for uniforms, supplies, and field trips. Additionally, the portal allows you to contribute directly through donations.
