Need quarantine snacks? Girl Scouts are moving sales online
Being occupied by TikTok and Netflix can last only so long. When finding comfort in your mandated homebody status, proper snacks are the next line of defense. Girl Scouts has you covered.
The international organization announced Friday it would continue to offer online options for those interested in scooping up additional boxes of Thin Mints, Tagalongs and all the other faves. The nonprofit will also collect donations to help first responders helping to fight the coronavirus.
"To protect girls and communities in the wake of COVID-19, Girl Scouts have suspended door-to-door sales and cookie booths," read a message on the company's website. "But you can still buy your favorite cookies online today and have them shipped to your door — or donate cookies and we'll distribute them safely to provide comfort to first responders, volunteers, and local causes in need."
The average Girl Scout sells about “250 to 300 boxes” per year, so the hope is that sales will continue to support the organization even as Scouts stay home.
Several fans of the girls’ mission and the cookies showed thanks on Twitter last weekend.
