The Girl Scout, whose virtual cookie outlet went viral earlier this year, has sold thousands of boxes of cookies. Now she is focusing on giving back to her community.
Allie Shroyer, a first-grader from Scottsdale, Arizona, started selling Girl Scout cookies in January this year when she made a beautiful selling point for a security camera of the doorbell.
Her mother, Kristen Shroyer, posted the pitch on Facebook and the video quickly went viral. Within 24 hours, Allie sold more than 200 boxes of cookies. Within a week, her sales had risen to 600 boxes, which was more than her original goal, Fox News reported earlier.

Allie also reportedly donated more than 1,000 boxes of cookies to nursing homes, hospitals and health workers, the local station reported.

“She wanted to achieve a goal of donating more than 1,000 boxes to nursing homes, to bring joy to our elders in isolation,” Kristen told ABC15.
According to the station, Allie’s troop also donated $ 1,000 to childhood cancer research using some of the money from their cookie sales.

The reason Allie even made a virtual sale price in the first place was because of the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News reported earlier.
In normal times, she would probably have sold cookies face-to-face to her neighbors, but the pandemic forced her to reconsider her strategy.

In January, Kristen told People that the sales pitch at the doorbell’s security room was the ‘next best thing’ to personal sales.

“I knew she would not be able to go from house to house, so we thought the next best thing was to sign a point of sale at the door,” Kristen told the magazine at the time.
“It’s important to us that she’s still learning the skills to go from house to house and that her mother is just sending out a link,” she added. “She had no preparation. We just reminded her of the price of the boxes and told her to give her the best selling price. ‘
