ICA Food Shelf

Your community connector

Since 2015, the acowsay team has worked alongside ICA Food Shelf to create a film for their annual Great Taste fundraiser. The Great Taste is a key fundraiser that allows ICA to continue their mission to create a healthy and stable community for all.

Neil’s story

When a cancer diagnosis left Neil needing to find a way to fill in the gaps, ICA stepped in. As he courageously battles cancer, he has found the support he needs to stay in his home, fill his fridge, and most importantly, focus on his health.

It was a privilege to help Neil share his story and his gratitude to ICA in this 2023 Great Taste film.

The Austin Bruins are proud to be a key feature in the town’s annual Paint the Town Pink celebration and fundraiser and for the ninth consecutive year, the Bruins will host a Paint the Rink Pink game to raise cancer awareness and funds for cancer research at the Hormel Institute. For the Bruins game on Saturday, February 2 against the Minnesota Magicians, Riverside Arena ice will be dyed pink while the team dons specialty pink uniforms complete with a sublimated pattern created with names submitted by the Austin community of those who have been affected by cancer. These game-worn jerseys will be available to fans during a post-game auction. During the auction, Bruins players will be entertaining the crowd with self-created skits which will run the gamut from songs and dance numbers, comedy routines, or other exciting events.

soulaire’s story

Soulaire Allerai’s ICA story began when her 6 boys were young, she was working full-time, and in school. Needing an extra boost to make ends meet, ICA stepped in to help Soulaire and her family. Years later, Soulaire, now a Life Strategist and Owner + Operator of Bad Rooster Food Truck, is stepping up to give back to ICA in a big way.

We were honored to help Soulaire tell her story for the 8th Annual The Great Taste fundraising event for ICA Food Shelf.
