Adirondack Creamery kicks off third season of promoting Summer Meals with free ice cream

“Ice Cream Fridays” returns in partnership with Foodlink’s mobile Summer Meals initiative

Rochester families can access free Summer Meals at dozens of locations all summer long – and starting Friday, some might get an additional treat at the end of the week.

For the third consecutive year, Adirondack Creamery launched “Ice Cream Fridays” in collaboration with Foodlink’s mobile meals initiative. Along with a healthy, scratch-made meal from the Foodlink Community Kitchen, kids will get a free, single-serving cup of ice cream.



Foodlink delivers healthy meals to Summer Meals sites all across Rochester to ensure kids are getting the nutrition they need after losing access to school meals in July and August. In an effort to reach more children, Foodlink’s mobile meals vehicles head to select neighborhoods that lack access to traditional summer meals programming and provide “grab-and go” meals, thanks to American Rescue Plan Act funding from Monroe County.

Foodlink offers mobile meals in neighborhoods such as the 19th Ward, Maplewood, Charlotte and Lyell-Otis, with more ice cream giveaways scheduled on Fridays through the next six weeks. More information about the city’s Summer Meals program can be found at www.SummerMealsROC.org.

Who: Foodlink & Adirondack Creamery

What: “Ice Cream Fridays” in collaboration with the Summer Meals program

Where: Jefferson Terrace Park & surrounding neighborhoods

When: Friday, July 12; 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
