Missed Your Free Ice Cream Cone Last Week?

Don't despair: Baskin-Robbins has your back.

Today only, the ice cream chain is holding its annual 31 Cent Scoop Night to benefit the National Volunteer Firefighters Council and firefighters across the United States.  A small scoop of one of the 31 ice cream flavors is a mere 31 cents at participating locations.  You'll also have the opportunity to donate to Houston-area fire charities in the stores.

So it isn't free.  But it's tasty, frozen goodness.  And it's less than you'd spend on a Coke (and, hey, a Coke won't help you donate to charity).

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
