Darling’s Ice Cream for a Cause truck is set to be at The Augusta Center for Health & Rehabilitation’s Trail Access For All fundraiser from 2:30-4 p.m. Friday, July 19, at 188 Eastern Ave.
Families and community members are invited to attend the event, which also will include lawn games and music.
“Residents are raising funds to purchase interpretive signs and trailside amenities like rustic benches and birdhouses,” says Keith Smith, director of life enrichment, according to a news release from the center.
Darling’s Ice Cream for a Cause was designed as a fun way to give back to local communities and causes. The truck can be found at local events to give out ice cream for free, in exchange for voluntary donations to benefit the cause or charity.
Since 2012, the truck has raised more than $552,000 for thousands of causes and charities.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
