Scooper Bowl serves local charities

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Hundreds of people in Idaho Falls joined in a sweet treat to help the community.

Scooper Bowl, sponsored by Local News 8, was held in downtown Idaho Falls on Saturday.

People came out to enjoy several different flavors of ice cream and gelato.

The frozen treats were provided by Reed's Dairy, Manwaring Handcrafted Cheese, and Farr's Ice Cream. 

Part of the proceeds for the event went towards the Idaho Falls Rescue Mission and the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center in Idaho Falls.

"Our favorite reaction at this event is that 'oh, I didn't even know you were here.'" said Idaho Falls Rescue Mission representative Chris Aspinall. "So it's great to be able to talk to people and get the word out and inevitably there will be someone here that knows, someone that needs our service, or someone that needs to come down for a meal tonight. It happened last year, it'll happen this year."
