Girl Scout Volunteers for Shop & Share

ZeroV and its regional domestic violence shelter programs, in partnership with the First Lady of Kentucky, Kroger, and other regional grocers, host Shop & Share each February. Shop & Share is a one-day donation drive where shoppers at participating local grocery stores are asked to “shop” for what they need and “share” an item with their local domestic violence program, benefitting their shelter pantry for the year ahead. This year, Shop & Share is taking place on February 8. 

Both the Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana and the Girl Scouts of Kentucky's Wilderness Road have played a crucial role in meeting domestic violence programs' volunteer needs and boosting total Shop & Share donations since the annual event began in 2008.

Volunteering for Shop & Share

Troops are asked to participate in a minimum of one volunteer shift on the day of Shop & Share. Generally, troops will set up at store entrances, hand out shopping lists, and collect donations as shoppers enter and exit the store. Coordinators do their best to set up volunteers in the vestibules or inside the store. However, set-up locations vary based on the needs of each partner store and there is no guarantee that volunteers will be inside, so come prepared for the weather and note that there will be traffic in the parking lots. Other volunteer opportunities may also be available, such as transporting donations to the storage location and organizing and inventorying donations. Please contact the Shop & Share Coordinator at the domestic violence program near you to coordinate and sign up to volunteer.

Troops are encouraged to make a sign for their table and make sure to wear your Girl Scout Sash or Vest, so you are easily recognized. Your Shop & Share Coordinator will provide you with instructions about monetary donation handling and donation pick-up coordination prior to your Shop & Share event. 

All troops will have the opportunity to request Shop & Share patches after the event. You can pick these up at the council offices or request to have them mailed. For questions about patches, please contact McKenzie Gollar at [email protected] or Mandy Faulconer at [email protected]. There will be no Cookie Sales allowed at Shop & Share locations on the day of the event.
