Is there a better way to cool off from summer’s heat than with free ice cream?

Lee’s Air, Plumbing & Heating is launching an ice cream truck that will deliver free ice cream to Fresno area neighborhoods, community events, and gathering spots.

The company has scheduled seven stops, but it also wants community input on where the ice cream truck should show up. It could be for a birthday party, block party, or workplace surprise.  Submit requests at LeesIceCreamTruck.com or via Lee’s social media channels.

“Our mission is to serve people — our customers, our coworkers, and our community — and have fun doing it,” said Derek Franks, chief operating officer of Lee’s. “An ice cream truck is about as fun as it gets. We just want to show up in the neighborhoods we serve and do something good. It’s hot outside — here’s some ice cream, on the house.”

The company says that the truck’s additional stops — including community submissions — will be announced on Lee’s social media channels.
