As summer heats up in Fresno, a local home services company is taking its community outreach on the road — with free ice cream!
Lee’s Air, Plumbing & Heating is launching a branded ice cream truck this summer that will visit Fresno neighborhoods, community events and local gathering spots to hand out free ice cream.
No purchase required and no strings attached.
In what the company believes is a first for any home services company in the Central Valley, Lee’s is rolling out a fully wrapped ice cream truck to make stops around the area.

“Our mission is to serve people — our customers, our coworkers, and our community — and have fun doing it,” said Derek Franks, the company’s chief operating officer. “An ice cream truck is about as fun as it gets. We just want to show up in the neighborhoods we serve and do something good. It’s hot outside — here’s some ice cream, on the house.”
Lee’s is asking for the public’s help to pick the stops for the ice cream truck.
The company said requests can include block parties, kids’ birthdays, school events or workplace surprises.
Requests can be submitted at LeesIceCreamTruck.com or through Lee’s social media channels.
“We want people to feel like this is their truck,” said Josué Solis, Lee’s vice president of marketing.
