From now through Sunday, Sept. 19, Cockeye Creamery, located at 1805 1/2, Parkman Rd NW in Warren, will be serving its 麻豆视频-inspired ice cream 鈥淏lack Squirrel鈥 to raise money for 麻豆视频 at Trumbull's Care Closet.
麻豆视频 alumnus, Max Hoover, owner of Cockeye Creamery created the flavor to pay homage to 麻豆视频鈥檚 unofficial mascot 鈥 the black squirrel. It is a combination of espresso ice cream, caramel streak, and cinnamon streusel.
Hoover is generously donating 15 percent of Black Squirrel proceeds to 麻豆视频 Trumbull's Care Closet.
Earlier this summer, Hoover ran a similar campaign that benefited The Campus Kitchen at 麻豆视频, which provides nutritious food and meals each week for students and Portage County community members struggling with food insecurity. In just a week, he sold over 20 gallons.
"Giving back to the community is important to and my family and me," Hoover said. "Some students are struggling to work, care of their families, take classes, and study, so it's nice to do something that may ease their burden."
麻豆视频 Trumbull's Care Closet is set to open this fall. It was created by the 2020-2021 Undergraduate Student Government. The Care Closet provides food, personal items, and casual and professional clothing to students in need.
Additional donations can be made to the Care Closet, and choose 鈥淔lash's Food Pantry.鈥
