Ice Cream Social is a unique ice cream shop in Madison, WI, founded in Spring 2020 by Katrina, who transformed her passion for ice cream making into a community-focused venture. What began as a way to share joy with friends during social distancing quickly evolved into a powerful mission. This establishment is now renowned for its commitment to social good, operating under the motto "Small Batches for Big Change."
Since opening its brick-and-mortar location in March 2022, Ice Cream Social has maintained its core mission: donating a significant portion of profits to local organizations fighting for social and racial equity.
