J.P. Licks, the homemade ice cream café with eight shops in and around Boston, has donated $1,300 in proceeds from a Veterans Day promotion to the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans (NESHV) in Boston.
In remembrance and support of veterans on Veterans’ Day, J.P. Licks offered patrons at each of their stores a cup of coffee for $1, which was then donated to NESHV.
“We wanted to honor and give back to those who have served us and our country. This the first time we have run this promotion and we’re very pleased with its success,” noted Vince Petryk, founder of J.P. Licks. “We will be looking into doing a similar promotion to support the troops next year.”
Stephen Cunniff, Director of Community Affairs at NESHV noted, “We appreciate J.P. Licks’ support and friendship.”
The NESHV is located at 17 Court Street in Boston. For more information, visit neshv.org. Visit jplicks.com for store locations and hours.
