New Morning Store that specializes in health food has come up with a yummy way to raise money for an excellent cause.
On Friday, June 23, the Woodbury store would have its 7th annual ice cream benefit for Safe Haven, an urgent situation shelter which provides free services for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. From 4-7 p.m., the public could come and enjoy some delicious natural and organic ice cream, sorbet and frozen yogurt. The advantage takes place rain or shine.
New Morning, a holistic retail center, has been in business over 35 years. Owner John Pittari came up with the idea of containing an ice cream social to benefit Safe Haven. There were some reasons for his inspiration, but the major one was that he knew the group performed precious services and he wanted to help.
Pittari said he has seen people drop $50 into the compilation jar and taken only two sundaes, but he's also seen people put $5 in and come back 12 times. Most of his customers are kind, though, he said, and he hopes this year's donations would reflect that spirit.
