AUGUSTA — The Darling’s Ice Cream for a Cause ice cream truck will be at the Augusta Center for Health & Rehabilitation’s Family Fun Day residents’ fundraiser. The event will be held from 2-4 p.m. Friday, July 14, at 188 Eastern Ave. in Augusta.
Families and community members are invited to attend the event which also will include a barbecue, lawn games, and music.
“Residents are raising funds to purchase campsite amenities: wheelchair accessible tent and picnic tables, and rustic benches,” said Keith Smith, director of Life Enrichment at the center.
Darling’s Ice Cream for a Cause was designed as a fun way to give back to local communities and causes. The truck attends local events to give out ice cream for free, in exchange for voluntary donations to benefit the cause or charity. Since 2012, the truck has raised more than $490,000 for thousands of causes and charities.
