This is our fifth year shipping Girl Scout Cookies® to the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this is the biggest shipment ever!
We have 1,150 cases of Girl Scout Cookies® arriving in our warehouse in March. To get these cookies to Marines deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, we'll need to raise 100% of the funds to ship the cookies. We need your help collecting donations.

We estimate the cost of shipping one case (containing 12 boxes) of Girl Scout CookiesŪ overseas will be $13.95. 1,150 cases shipped overseas at $13.95 each totals $16,042 in shipping. As such, our goal this year is to raise $16,042 to get the cookies shipped to Iraq and Afghanistan on March 21st.
Every year the girl scout troops in Connecticut donate the cookies to the MarineParents.com Care Package Project™. The brownies and girl scouts work hard to make sure our combat deployed Marines are included in this time-honored American tradition and a true taste of home. We get thank you notes from Marines commenting on how grateful they are to receive the cookies. We've got a note written on the back of a cookie box as a matter of fact--a true treasure and testament to serving our troops who so selflessly serve for us.
Let your friends and neighbors know we need their help shipping the cookies overseas. To donate, mail a check or money order to:
MarineParents.com, Inc.
Attn: Girl Scout Cookie Shipping
PO Box 1115
Columbia, MO 65205
