2013 Cookie Program
Cookies
The Girl Scout I Care Cookie Sharing Program supports military service people, local food banks, fire & rescue, women’s shelters, Ronald McDonald houses, camps and several other community organizations. People purchasing Girl Scout cookies and snacks can choose to donate product as gifts to any one of these deserving organizations. Last year, Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio made a national record breaking donation to Operation Gratitude thanks to the generosity of customers who contributed cookies to the I Care Program. In 2012, Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council is partnering with Operation Gratitude and the USO of Cochella Valley. Remember, if you can’t eat ‘em, treat ‘em!

Are cookie purchases tax-deductible?
Cookies purchased through the I CARE Cookie Sharing Program are tax-deductible. This is because these cookies are purchased as a donation to others – our military troops, food pantries, shelters – and the consumer does not receive any cookies and does not benefit directly from paying for those cookies.
