Our cookie depots are about ready to open. Do you know where to go and when?

The cookie depots are located at each service center.

The cookie depot at the Monmouth Service Center is in the Infirmary Building at Camp Sacajawea. Pull into the council parking lot and continue down the hill to the big parking lot. The Infirmary building is the log cabin on your right.

The cookie depot at the Ocean Service Center: is in the garage on the right side of the Ocean Service Center building

More than 30 restaurants across Monmouth and Ocean counties have joined with the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore and Press Communications to support the Gift of Caring Partnership. Through this component of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, you can purchase boxes of Girl Scout Cookies that will be donated to the United States military and The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

Please support our partner businesses and, when you receive your check after your meal, please consider purchasing a box of cookies to donate.

By participating in the Gift of Caring Partnership restaurants not only support the military and The FoodBank, but also a local Girl Scout or Girl Scout troop. In addition, they receive promotion with our partner radio stations - Thunder 106, B98.5 and The Breeze. In addition, the restaurant that donates the most cookies will host a radio station event where cookies will be delivered to our partner organizations.

Please let us know if you have any questions about this program.
