Local kids raise money for food bank

Little entrepreneurs with big hearts turned a GMC Yukon XL into an ice cream truck for a day and donated a total of $1,110 to the Community Action Partnership Coeur d’Alene Food Bank.

With mom Jamie Green at the wheel, kiddos Sam, Sophia, Scarlett, Sullivan and their friend Jimmy Greene drove all over North Idaho selling sweet treats to friends and businesses to help put food on the table for those in need.

The kids brought in $555 and Kootenai Law Group, which donated all the ice cream, matched that amount.

“Creatively, they found a way not only to keep themselves busy, but to help people at the same time,” said food bank manager Darrell Rickard. “That’s just amazing.”
