1. Cookies From Home Campaign too successful. More cookies then USO could handle.
2. Cookies are always first used to help troop fill orders.
3. Each troop or a group of troops should contact their Hometown Hero organization to see if they would be willing to accept donated cookies. Mama on Main Street does not want 138 boxes of cookies!
4. Know who you are giving the cookies to ---- day care or nursing home would prefer shortbread. However, the nurses at the nursing home (who do a thankless job) would love mints or any other variety. Most nursing home have quite a few nursing stations and care centers. Ask for the number when you call for permission.) If you don’t have enough, shot out to other troops.
5. When you give them, include a note telling the organization -----They are your GS’s Troop’s Hometown Heroes.
6. IF ALL TROOPS IN THE SERVICE UNIT HAVE NO COOKIES LEFT then troops can do a Gift of Caring (see page 27)
