We all scream for ice cream
Baskin-Robbins will host “Free Scoop Night” tonight from 6 to 10 p.m.
All across the country, more than three million scoops of ice cream are expected to be given away in support of First Book, a national non-profit children’s literacy organization. As in the past five years, Baskin-Robbins will make a donation for every scoop given out; making this one sweet way to celebrate reading.
Just visit Baskin-Robbins, order your choice of ice cream and keep your wallet (and money) in your pocket. Baskin-Robbins is located at 230 Cochrane Road in Morgan Hill and also at 1740 Airline Highway in Hollister.
