Ice cream care packages for our local healthcare heroes

Dear Friends

About a week and a half ago, we received a message from a nurse named Emily. She currently works at NYU Langone Health and treats patients fighting for their lives due to COVID-19. She expressed how much she loves Noona’s and wishes she could just take a break and enjoy our ice creams. After hearing her story and what it’s like to be a healthcare worker in this pandemic, there was no way I was going to end our conversation without showing my admiration and gratitude for her selflessness and bravery. Our team is now preparing ice cream care packages to be sent out for her and the NYU Langone Health family.

As a small ice cream company, we are a team of people who value hospitality and consider our customers as family. We don’t feel fulfilled unless we are making ice cream and providing joy for others, and as a business, it’s our job to find ways to support and care for our family and community during this time.

To everyone placing online orders — your orders are contributing to our ability to brighten the lives of nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers, and show them our appreciation. The shipping cost of your order will go to ice cream care packages to NYC hospitals. You can also make a separate donation by adding “Hospital Donation” to your order, or simply making a donation here.

If you’d like to organize an ice cream care package for a hospital in Brooklyn or Manhattan, please contact me at Hannah@noonasicecream.com.
