New Year, New Cookie Season for MICAH House Girl Scout Troop #64224
Girl Scout Troop #64224 at MICAH House (www.themicahhouse.org) is gearing up for another cookie season beginning in early February. Last year, their troop sold to all 50 states, and made national news by selling 27,196 boxes! This is quite a feat for the troop who sold less than 1,000 boxes their first year in 2018. The theme for this year is to pay-it-forward. MICAH House is encouraging folks to get two boxes, then make someone’s day by giving them one.
MICAH House is proud to offer a Girl Scout troop to school-age girls living at the homeless shelter. Unlike many traditional troops, their meetings are held where the girls eat, sleep, and live. Some girls choose to continue with the MICAH House troop even after their families have found safe and stable housing. This Girl Scout experience can help girls gain confidence, practice leadership, and learn life skills. They currently have 10 girls in the program aged 11 and under. Watch MICAH House’s Facebook (@MicahHouseIowa) for news on their troop.
Founded in 1986, MICAH House is a transitional homeless shelter that serves families and women in the Omaha-metro area and southwest Iowa. If you are looking for cookies this February and March, consider MICAH House troop #64224 by visiting www.themicahhouse.org and pay-it-forward!
