Because I've spent much of my life immersed in community service and public service, it's hard for me to leave that completely out of the Ice Cream Tour.  

So... I'm hoping the ICT of CA will end up raising some funds for a very important effort: supporting and protecting immigrants.   The community foundation in my home County (Santa Cruz) has a fund to support immigrants.  You can read more about it HERE.  If you are enjoying the Tour, I hope you will make a donation in honor of your favorite ice cream to the fund by clicking here.

Wondering about the ice cream / immigrant connection? Who do you imagine does the human part of the work to produce the milk and cream in ice cream.  (In California, immigrants from Latin America make up the bulk of the dairy industry and there is currently a need for lots of support. This fund provides assistance to immigrant families in the Monterey Bay area (my home region).  Please donate generously. Thanks!
