This Post Empowers Young Women and Buys Food for the Homeless
Dear Beloved Steemians,
Great news! This year you can order your Girl Scout cookies online. That makes it easier to support your favorite Girl Scouts, which are obviously mine.
All proceeds from upvotes on this post will be split between the girls and used to fund cookie purchases for the homeless. Can't buy cookies? Upvote and resteem!
Below you will find links to my daughters' shops. Please know that you can order cookies as gifts or donate them to Operation Cookie Drop and it still benefits the girls and their troops. Also, their pages are in their own words and super cute.

Both girls have their own hopes regarding what they will do with their cookie money. I love that they both want to give back to their communities. In my Daisy troop, which River is part of, community service is our main focus, but since it's our first year as a troop, we don't have much money to work with in order to, say, make kits for the homeless.
Yes, we can get donations, but some things need to be purchased new, and there are troop snacks, transportation, registrations and various other expenses such as summer camps associated with having an educational and empowering Girl Scout experience.
Again, you can help both by buying cookies and upvoting this post. Without further ado, I introduce my daughters:

We hope you'll share their stores with your friends or around Steemit. You never know who needs a nosh or wants to support U.S. troops. U.S. shipping only.
The girls thank you for helping them meet their goals!

Wow! Your girl scouts are adorable! 😍
Thank you! They are so excited to be scouting!
women and men are like 2 tyre's of our society if one does not get participated, how can society run's ??@respect
No worries. We also have Boy Scouts! Also, Girl Scouts creates opportunities often not open to girls and women because, well, they are female. It works to even the patriarchal playing field. #persist
