On any given summer day, you’re likely to find James Karagiannis perched on his bicycle-propelled ice cream stand, handing out frozen treats to tiny hands.
But Karagiannis, who is better known as James the Ice Creamcycle Dude, knows ice cream is more than a tasty treat.
Since 2007, the Buffalo native has been peddling ice cream in his hometown. His adventures atop a bicycle meant becoming intimately familiar with the communities he served.
So when he saw that some kids consistently couldn’t afford to spare a dollar for his ice cream, Karagiannis had an idea.
Patrons of James’ bicycle-driven ice cream stands can make a donation when they buy a frozen dessert. Kids who can’t spare a dollar can write a thank-you note to donors in exchange for their own cold treat. The result? An inclusive system of ice cream for all and a sweet chance for a lesson in thank-yous.
