Since 2010, Freedom First has brought free ice cream to community events all over Roanoke and the NRV with our ice cream truck, Scoop.

Please read the guidelines carefully before booking your event.

Scoop is in VERY high demand! We will do our best to fulfill requests, but we may not be able to attend your event. Here are our guidelines:

  • Scoop is only available to book between May 15-August 31 every year.
 
  • Scoop is not available on Sundays. We appreciate your understanding for our employee volunteers!

  • For safety reasons, we are unable to bring Scoop to events after dark and may need to leave early.

  • We can only visit each school once per year.
    • We have a lot of schools in our service area and thank you for your understanding of the high demand!

  • We ask your group to adhere to our one ice cream per person limit.
    • When we bring Scoop to your event, please understand that we only have limited quantities of ice cream. Sometimes we have multiple events in a day and need to make sure we don't run out!

  • For security reasons, we require 2 Freedom First volunteers at Scoop events and it's more difficult to find weekend volunteers.
    • We may not be able to attend your event if we cannot find 2 volunteer drivers who are available at that date/time, or if it has already been booked.
 
  • We are only able to attend events in the Greater Roanoke area (Roanoke, Botetourt, Franklin Co, etc), NRV (Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford), and Lynchburg.
    • Please understand that, while we have expanded our service area, there are limitations for how far Scoop can travel before the ice cream melts! We will let you know if this changes!

If your event fits the conditions above, please use the form below to submit your request. We appreciate your understanding!
