Once again, Hyattsville Aging in Place (HAP) is teaming up with local Girl Scouts to ensure our Neighbors received a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise. A partnership that started as a way to ensure a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise during the COVID pandemic has proven a recurring bit of winter joy.

For 2026, Hyattsville Aging in Place is working with Hyattsville Third-Grade Brownie Troop 23041, whose scouts have regularly helped with Valentine card-making for the program.

We are asking people to buy Girl Scout cookies that will be donated to area seniors. The Girl Scouts will make valentines to accompany each box when they deliver them. Each box costs $6 and can be ordered from this page. You can personalize the valentine’s message from the same page, or, if you want to make your own valentines for the girls to deliver, mail them to “Valentines ℅ HAP, P.O. Box 113, Hyattsville, MD 20781.” You can also sign up for updates on the troop’s valentine-making efforts from the same page.

The website for ordering cookies and valentines is open NOW. Cookie orders must be finalized by February 7th to ensure the troop has time to make all the necessary valentines for delivery.
