July is National Ice Cream Month, along with the third Sunday of the month, as National Ice Cream Day. Adult Alternative Home Care is celebrating by giving out these delightful ice cream treats.

This day was designated by President Ronald Ragan in 1984. The month is celebrated as a way to cool off and enjoy ice cream with family and friends.
