Girl Scouts in Salisbury Donate 600 Boxes of Cookies to Blood Bank Canteens
SALISBURY, MD - It's no secret that blood donors love the canteen cookies. And the cookie selection in Salisbury is about to get a little sweeter.
The Girl Scout Service Unit 97 from the Girl Scouts Chesapeake Bay Council will be delivering 600 boxes of cookies to the Blood Bank's Salisbury Donor Center (1309 Mt. Hermon Road) on Tuesday, April 13 at 4:30pm.
Blood Bank of Delmarva was chosen as a recipient of this cookie donation through an annual campaign called "Operation Taste of Home." The campaign allows the public to buy Girl Scout cookies that will be sent to military troops around the world and to local organizations on Delmarva.
"Our program became so successful that the USO was becoming inundated with cookies," said Denise Eberspeaker of the Wicomico County unit of the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay. "Since there is also such a need at the local level, especially with the way the economy is now, we send cookies to organizations that save lives on Delmarva as well."
The cookies will be served to donors in the Salisbury Center canteen after their blood donation and at mobile locations in the area.
