ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A beautiful day outside means Monroe County residents will likely be spending some time in the sun, and that means they could use some help cooling off.
Throughout the summer, local families can get free summer meals at dozens of locations thanks to Foodlink. Starting Friday, that includes an extra scoop of Adirondack Creamery ice cream.
Paul Nasrani, founder of Adirondack Creamery, says the addition of ice cream helps capture the attention of their audience.
“They’re not going to school and they’re not getting school meals,” he said, “so this is a great program that provides fresh, nutritious meals to kids in the neighborhoods where they live, where they don’t have regular access to those meals.”
Adirondack Creamery uses food from farms in upstate New York to make its ice cream. They need a lot of those ingredients, since the program provides about 300 meals a day, each with a scoop of ice cream.
