AMERICAN HOMELAND TITLE AGENCY DOUBLES ITS COMMITMENT TO GIRL SCOUTS OF KENTUCKY’S WILDERNESS ROAD TO PROVIDE COOKIES AT HOME CLOSINGS DURING COVID-19 CRISIS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Essential Services Company Buys Another 1,250 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies
ERLANGER, KY – May 5, 2020–Earlier this month, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road (GSKWR) called on businesses in Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati to help fund its programs by buying surplus cookies, since Girl Scouts cannot sell cookies door-to-door due to the COVID-19 crisis. American Homeland Title Agency, with offices in Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati stepped up to help with a $ 5,000 contribution for 1,250 boxes of cookies from both GSKWR and Western Ohio Girl Scouts. Announced today, American Homeland Title Agency confirmed an additional $ 5,000 contribution for another 1,250 boxes of cookies from both GSKWR and Western Ohio Girl Scouts, for a total contribution of $ 10,000.
American Homeland Title Agency gives fresh-baked cookies to clients at residential real estate closing transactions. “At closings, our clients have responded so positively to the Girl Scout Cookies, and we knew that there was still a surplus of cookies so we wanted to help out in a bigger way”, said John J. Yonas, Attorney and Partner, American Homeland Title Agency.
GSKWR relies on cookie sales as they represent over 80% of its annual operating budget and provide girls and their troops the opportunity to set goals and earn their own money, used to fund rigorous programs and growth opportunities. GSKWR currently has warehouse locations throughout the State of Kentucky thousands of surplus cookies that must be sold. Companies throughout Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, large and small, are urged to purchase remaining cases of cookies for their own use or to support front-line workers in healthcare, restaurant businesses, manufacturing, distribution and any other essential businesses or to donate to food banks or senior facilities to support vulnerable populations.
“American Homeland Title is a true partner and we are incredibly thankful for their continued support ”, said Haleigh McGraw, Communications Director, Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road. “We’ve seen great support from other companies as well, but still have thousands of boxes of cookies to sell to support our Kentucky Cookie Entrepreneurs”, she continued.
To purchase cases of cookies with a $ 250 minimum for 5 cases, go to www.gskentucky.org/cookie-relief or, contact Tammy Durham, Director of Grants and Community Partnerships at tdurham@gswrc.org.
By earning their own money through cookie sales, Kentucky Girl Scouts learn goal setting, financial literacy and entrepreneurship skills through the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Revenue from the Girl Scout Cookie Program maintains GSKWR property and provides programming on 4 camp properties, provides financial assistance to more than 2,500 girls, training to nearly 4,000 volunteers, and other Girl Scout activities throughout the year.
