DWD Sponsors Girl Scout Cookie Program

DWD is proud to be a Corporate Girl Scout Cookie Sponsor

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a critical source of funding for the Girl Scouts.  Due to COVID-19, all in-person activities of the troops were suspended, even the cookie sales!  To help support the Girl Scouts with unsold cookies, the Corporate Cookie Sponsorship campaign allows corporations to purchase cookies and donate them to a chosen charity.  For every box purchased by a corporate sponsor, Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana Michiana will donate a box to the chosen charity.    Not only are we supporting the Girl Scouts, we are also supporting a number of our nonprofit clients and those in the community who rely on their services.

It was a great outreach opportunity for several members of our DWD team while we loaded our vehicles, planned our route and made the deliveries.  A box of cookies can certainly brighten someones day, especially for the children attending Euell A. Wilson Center who were finishing their lunch and eager for a treat! 

These are the organizations we visited:

Early Childhood Alliance.

Euell A. Wilson Center.  The Euell A.
