The Girl Scouts and MVH expressed their thanks to the community for their generous support.
“The local Girl Scout Troops would like to thank all of those who helped make this possible,” said Girl Scout Troop Leader Laura St. Pierre. “We were overwhelmed and surprised by the great participation the Girl Scouts received from the community — thank you!”
The cookies were delivered to Maine Veterans’ Home on May 11.
“We are amazed with the generosity of the community and the Girl Scouts,” said Melissa Graham, MVH-Caribou administrator. “These cookies really do bring a smile to our residents’ faces as they are all familiar with Girl Scout cookies, and it is a great treat that can fit into most diets.”
