Gift of Caring

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is about more than selling cookies—it’s about setting goals, building confidence, and spreading kindness in our communities. This season, girls can take part in two exciting Cookie Program contests that reward entrepreneurship and celebrate the adults who support their success. Whether you’re earning entries toward a cookie giveaway or recognizing someone who makes your cookie season shine, there’s a fun way for everyone to get involved.

Thanks to many generous supporters, nearly 55,000 boxes were donated in 2026 to active military members serving locally and overseas through our partnerships with MacDill Air Force Base and Support the Troops.

🍪 Give a Sweet Gift That Gives Back

The Girl Scout Gift of Caring program allows customers to purchase and donate Girl Scout Cookies to those who may not be able to treat themselves—spreading joy and kindness throughout our community and beyond.

All donated cookies are distributed through two incredible partners:

Support the Troops, Inc. – Cookies are sent overseas to deployed military members.
Feeding Tampa Bay – Cookies are shared with local families facing food insecurity.

Make a Bigger Impact During Cookie Season

Love buying cookies? Consider donating a few boxes to Gift of Caring when you place your order! It’s an easy way to support your favorite Girl Scout and brighten someone else’s day. Donations can be made through a Girl Scout’s Digital Cookie page or in person.
