Spreading Love Through Ice Cream & Music
Creating joy and connection for nursing home residents across Chicago
Welcome to Ice Cream for the Soul
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting the lives of nursing home residents through unforgettable ice cream socials. Blending classic music, premium toppings, and genuine human connection, our events are more than a treat — they’re a reminder that love, laughter, and good memories never go out of style. From Sunday smiles to sweet melodies, we’re here to spread warmth one sundae at a time.
Our Mission
Uplift Spirits Through Connection
We believe in the healing power of human connection. Our ice cream socials bring residents, families, and staff together to share stories, smiles, and support — building a sense of belonging and community within every nursing home we visit.
Create Joy Through Music & Memories
Each event is filled with timeless hits from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, all themed around love. Our music helps spark nostalgia and joy, unlocking memories and uplifting emotions for residents who long for the good old days.
Serve Love, One Sundae at a Time
We don’t just serve ice cream — we create moments of pure happiness.
From creamy vanilla scoops to colorful toppings, every sundae is
crafted with love to make residents feel special, cherished, and seen.
Sundaes on Sunday
Every Sunday from 2–4 PM, we host joyful ice cream socials featuring premium ice cream, classic toppings, and plenty of smiles. Each event is paired with a playlist of love-themed songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, creating a warm, nostalgic atmosphere where residents, families, and volunteers come together to celebrate community and happiness.
