Every February, like clockwork, we start craving Thin Mints and Samoas, which can only mean one thing: It must be Girl Scout cookie season. This year, Girl Scouts around the country are keeping the tradition alive by taking socially distanced online orders. But what if you don't have a niece or family friend who belongs to a troop? For the first time ever, the organization has teamed up with Grubhub to offer easy cookie pickup and delivery nationwide.
The contact-free service launches on Thursday, February 11 via Grubhub—just type in your address to find a sweet spot near you. All proceeds remain local and support a troop in your area; plus, Grubhub is waiving fees so that the organization can maximize its profits. After all, Girl Scout cookie proceeds fuel local change and young entrepreneurship.
If you're looking for an even sweeter way to show your support, consider placing your order with Troop 6000, the Girl Scout program that's serving girls in the New York City Shelter System.
Remember, Girl Scout cookie season comes around but once a year, so stock up on enough Tagalongs and Do-si-dos to get you through the coming months.
