Local Girl Scouts selling cookies, but in different ways
Local Girl Scout troops are selling cookies, but with a social distancing and online twist.
In Westwood, for example, the local Girl Scouts are hosting a drive-thru, contactless pick-up booth so you can get your Girl Scout cookies.
Customers should order by Feb. 6 for pick-up on Feb. 13 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Hanlon School, 790 Gay St. Additionally, you can purchase cookies to be donated to the Westwood Food Pantry, the Westwood Senior Center and the staff at the COVID unit of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Please scan Westwood Girl Scouts Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/WestwoodGirlScouts, to place your order.

Devin and Jocelyn Knox (Cynthia Knox)
Sixth-grader Devin and fourth-grader Joselyn Knox, of Phillips Brook Road in Westwood, spent their time during COVID being entrepreneurial and altruistic. The siblings founded Volcanic Vanilla Extract to .help people during this difficult time, make something we enjoy and try running a little business project. Finding a project was tougher than we expected. We want to keep everyone safe. A lemonade stand sure won t work. One thing we make every year for friends and family is vanilla extract. Over the past four years we ve gotten good at it. We realized that is what we can do. Instead of making 10 bottles this year, we made 50 bottles and hope to sell them to help families and seniors who may not be able to afford enough food this winter.
