Every June, we like to recognize socially responsible frozen yogurt shops that give back to important causes and/or the community. Froyo is helping make a difference in the world.
We thank every froyo shop that helped their community by hosting fundraisers, donating to worthy causes, sponsoring cause-related events, and offering free or discounted froyo to law enforcement, healthcare workers, teachers, veterans, and more. We appreciate you!
Here are a few recent examples of froyo giving back.
