Before I took on the role of being a scout leader, I was warned that this is a thankless job. You’ll spend hours coordinating events, brainstorming ideas, handling money and making trips to the bank, filling out spreadsheets and lots of other mundane duties like attending long late-night leader meetings.
The girls in our troop won’t always thank us before they leave a meeting, and we never get so much as a card at Christmas. My co-leader and I joke that maybe everyone thinks that we enjoy doing all of this. But when I think about all of the public service projects that we execute, it feels pretty good to know that we’ve made a difference.
Last year we led an effort to feed the homeless. We gathered several troops together and our girls and parents together made bagged lunches for a local outreach group that makes a trip each month to Camden, New Jersey to hand out the meals. We also sang Christmas carols to the residents of a nursing home and brought food to the animal shelter. This year we’re excited to clean up the park and do plantings on Earth Day while we talk about how we can do good for the environment.
Of course you don’t have to be in a leadership role to do good in your community, but when you have an opportunity to lead a group in your efforts, it can have a much greater impact and that in and of itself is very rewarding.
That’s exactly why I’m proud to buy Green Mountain Coffee Roasters®. The company is doing great things for the world while also ensuring top-quality coffee in my cup. Through the Sumatran seedling program, farmers are given high-quality seedlings to plant which will yield a more fruitful crop and income to match. Through the Blue Harvest program, Green Mountain helped train thousands of farmers in water-smart agricultural practices all in an effort to provide better, safer and cleaner water to thousands of people. This is what we call making a difference.
Green Mountain’s bold coffee blends have always been my favorites because they keep me motivated so that I am able to squeeze every last drop out of my day but they also inspire me to do more good in the world. Walmart stocks my favorite Green Mountain Dark Magic blend, as well as a wide variety of other flavors!
I’m in Walmart at least once a week, taking advantage of one-stop shopping at it’s finest. Not only can I pick up the week’s groceries but I can also shop for household necessities, automotive supplies, kids toys and even eyeglasses and supplies for our scout meetings! I’ve noticed lately that the Walmart clothing and footwear brand, Time and Tru, has upped their game. I’m loving all of the new styles! I’ll be back to see what’s in store for Spring, and for more Green Mountain coffee!

No question, this is my coffee. Love what you are doing for the community. You have a wonderful life purpose.
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you! I think we all can do more. I certainly do not do enough.
I’ve heard a lot of great things about Green Mountain Coffee from Walmart. I will definitely check this one out.
The Dark Magic blend has always been my favorite. It was discontinued for a bit, so I was excited to find it again!
This brand sounds great, I would definitely try their coffee sometime, thanks for the recommendation.
If you like bold coffee you will love the Dark Magic blend. They do offer light roasts as well.
I know I like Green Mountain Coffee at the local stores, so I am sure I’d love it at home. When we were living on the road, homeless, I drank a lot of this brand at the hotels and gas stations.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that, Brandy.
I loved Green Mountain coffee and tea when I drank coffee and tea. So good and smooth taste.
Walmart is my go to store for most things too. I need to try the Green mountain coffee. I’ve seen they had a vanilla caramel flavor.
I think giving back should be the hallmark of all companies now. I love that Green Mountain coffee is leading the way.
I agree. They certainly have a platform. Those who have more should be expected to do more.
Even though they may not thank you now, your scouts will appreciate all you’ve done for them when they are older! And just as importantly, you’re helping them make the world a better place! I will have to give Green Mountain coffee a try.
Aww thank you! It can be frustrating but hopefully all worth it in the end!
I love that Walmart is doing this. I will have to be sure and pick up this coffee. Plus I’ve been wanting a reusable bag as well.
I try to remember to bring all my bags whenever I go shopping!
It is great to find a company that gives back and makes a fantastic product like Green Mountain coffee. I love Walmart and will add that coffee to my list.
It is delicious too! I love finding so many things in one place.
