Thank you: Ben and Jerry’s

BackPack Buddies of Bluffton would like to congratulate Jeff Lobb on the recent grand opening of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Shop at 6 Promenade St. in Old Town Bluffton. It was a wonderful day crowded with many happy people eating delicious ice cream

Ben and Jerry’s also made it a very special day for BackPack Buddies of Bluffton as it celebrated our mission of feeding chronically hungry children and presented us with an amazing donation of $2,000!

We sincerely thank Ben and Jerry’s for being such a good neighbor and for already “giving back” to the community. Their very generous gift will help us to continue to serve over 600 children during the 2017-2018 school year.

For the BackPack Buddies board,

Sue and Ken Kroupa

Bluffton
