WEST FARGO — A West Fargo ice cream shop is lending a hand to a local nonprofit dedicated to distributing vital medical supplies.
Lundy’s Ice Cream partnered with HERO, a regional organization that collects and distributes equipment such as wheelchairs and diabetic supplies, to host a unique event Wednesday, April 30, aimed at raising money for a much-needed delivery truck.
Through the event, called “Stuff Your Stanley,” customers could fill a Stanley cup or any tumbler with ice cream. A total of 20% of all sales from the day are being donated to HERO to help fund a new truck that would replace their aging vehicle and allow them to serve a broader range of communities.
“We have a lot of populations out there where they can’t get into Fargo or they don’t have friends or family to get them the things that they need, and they’re not a want: these supplies and equipment pieces are needs for them, so it would mean so much for us to be able to travel outside of the area,” said Stephanie Ressler, development coordinator for HERO.
The organization says a newer, more reliable truck would allow them to reach more people in rural and underserved areas.
For those who missed the event, donations can still be made at
