Following the 2025 Girl Scouts cookie season, Dave Burns of Burns Pest Elimination gathered 25 local business owners to purchase over 1200 boxes of cookies from local Girl Scout Isabella of Troop 4520 that were donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Phoenix (SVdP) and the communities they serve throughout the state.
On Wednesday, March 26th, Dircks Moving & Logistics, and the 25 participating local businesses, delivered this massive shipment of cookies to St. Vincent De Paul, who will distribute them to the thousands of those in need whom they assist with feeding, clothing and housing year-round.
“Every cookie season we like to give back, not only to a local Girl Scout who is trying to sell enough cookies to attend camp, but to Saint Vincent de Paul, who does so much for the underserved in our community,” said Dave Burns, Founder of Burns Pest Elimination. “It never gets old seeing the giant Dircks moving truck pull up to SVdP with thousands of boxes of cookies.”

“We are grateful to leaders and businesses like Burns Pest Elimination, Dircks Moving and Logistics, and their partners for their donation of Girl Scout Cookies,” said Cindy Bernardo, SVdP’s Family Evening Program Manager. “For the families we serve, treats like these are often out of reach, as every dollar goes toward essentials like rent, utilities, and groceries, turning this donation into something very special, especially for the kids.”
