Help Operation Cookie March 22

Going to the Manchester Monarchs’ game on Sunday, March 22? You can buy Girl Scout Cookies and help stuff a truck with these iconic American treats for donation to Operation Cookie, according to a press release from the Green and White Mountains Girl Scouts.

Operation Cookie is an initiative by Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains to bring Girl Scout Cookies to U.S. military serving around the world. Since the Persian Gulf War, cookie customers, Girl Scout troops, businesses and veterans’ groups have been buying and donating cookies for servicemen and women.

Last year, 12,000 packages of Girl Scout Cookies were donated to Operation Cookie, and distributed out of the Portsmouth Air National Guard Base and by the Pease Greeters.

Girl Scouts will have a Humvee parked in front of the Verizon Wireless Arena starting an hour before the Manchester Monarchs’ 3 p.m. game against the Portland Pirates on March 22. You can buy Girl Scout Cookies to donate on your way in, and for yourself to enjoy.

This game is also mascot Max’s birthday, and Girl Scouts Family and Friends Day, so there will be lots of fun surprises—including Wookiees and Star Wars Stormtroopers--for the whole family.

Plus, you can save 25 percent off your ticket purchase, get a voucher for a free chuck-a-puck, and a free ticket to a Monarchs’ playoff game if you mention Girl Scouts when ordering your tickets from Andrew Yarnall at 603-626-7825.

Can’t make the game but want Girl Scout Cookies? Use the Girl Scout Cookie Locator app or go to girlscoutcookies.org to find a sale near you. Or call the Cookie Hotline: 888-474-9686 ext. 4201, and leave a message including the name of your town, and someone will get back to you.

Girl Scout Cookies are great cookies for a great cause. All of the proceeds stay within the local council, to support local Girl Scouts.
