Ice Cream Emergency In Danbury Offering 'Care Packages'

DANBURY, CT — It's the societal divide that nobody anticipated: essential workers, and non-essential workers. Social distancing has sidelined one group, and ramped up the workday hours on the other to a degree that would be comical, if so many of them weren't falling flat on their faces.

The non-essential workers all have nothing but thanks and praise for the essential workers, which is all very nice, but what the essential workers really need, is dessert.

The strong will always survive. But the strong need ice cream.

So for a limited time (we can only hope!), Ice Cream Emergency in Danbury is offering "care packages" that boast "discounted pricing, no delivery charge, and uncontrollable happiness."

The EMS-themed mobile ice cream parlor launched in Danbury earlier this month, only to get hammered by the new coronavirus just like every other food venue. Now they're looking to hammer back, and get some rainbow sprinkles to where they'll do the most good.

"Essential employees have been doing an amazing job of keeping people safe, healthy and fed," Ice Cream Emergency franchise owner Shireen D'Andrea told Patch. "I have created this package as a way to give back by giving a discounted price and free delivery."

Ice Cream Emergency "scoopologists" will pre-scoop your orders, virus-proof them with secure lids and individually wrapped spoons, and deliver them to the door of your favorite essential workers. Or, if you're feeling kind of essential today, send a care package to yourself.

Depending upon volume, prices can be as low as $4 a cup. Call 475-689-5115 for details.
