Volunteers with St. John's Episcopal Church and the local Presbyterian church distribute the treats from an ice cream carts powered by electric bicycles. They say few people turn them down.

The Jackson Hole News & Guide reports an $11,700 grant paid for the two carts.

The church volunteers often visit summer programs, like those at the Jackson Hole Children's Museum and the Art Association of Jackson Hole. Adults as well as children are welcome to the free treats.
