Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Donates Cookies to Local Organizations
WARWICK, RI (June 3, 2026)—Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England (GSSNE) has donated over 100,000 Girl Scout Cookie packages this year to local organizations throughout the community through a local community service project called Cookie Share. These organizations included the Rhode Island Food Bank, PACE Organization of RI, Rhode Island Blood Center, the Jonnycake Center, Meals on Wheels, the Rotary Club of Westerly, FeedRI, and Care New England.
Cookie Share is a Girl Scout Cookie Program related service project that GSSNE implements each year where customers support Girl Scouts by purchasing a package of cookies that is then donated to local organizations such as food banks, shelters, military, and hospitals. Giving back to the community is an important part of what Girl Scouts learn through participating in the Cookie Program. Troops and service units can also collect cookie share at in-person booth sales which they donate to their own local organizations.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program—the largest girl-led entrepreneurial program in the world—funds life-changing programs, experiences, and learning for local youth and Girl Scout troops all year long. 100% of the proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program stay local, powering essential leadership development programming and meaningful community impact.
“The Girl Scout Cookie Program is an important part of the Girl Scout experience, helping our Girl Scouts develop confidence and lifelong skills through hands-on entrepreneurship. Every purchase supports local troops, camp, travel, financial assistance, and community programs, while the Cookie Share Program gives customers the opportunity to donate cookies to local heroes and organizations.,” said Ginger Lallo, Chief Operating Officer at GSSNE.
