Want to help share a sweet Valentine's Day treat with Hyattsville Aging in Place Neighbors? Donate a box of Girl Scout cookies through Brownie Troop 23041! HAP has partnered with local Girl Scouts on this project for several years now, and it always brings a smile to local seniors' faces. The deadline for ordering cookies for delivery on Valentine's Day is February 7th. (And if you need some cookies for yourself, too, I'm sure the troop can help you out.)
