WHY SHAVED ICE?The Back-StoryCenter ICE is a small-business venture of The Center for Whitley County Youth. In addition to adding a GREAT downtown family experience while enjoying a refreshing dessert together, Center ICE will provide valuable employment, job skill training, and character development for local teens.

We believe that one of the best ways to grow dignity and economic freedom in young people is to prepare them for a good-paying job by putting them to work and giving them responsibility and useful roles.

When you enjoy and share a Center ICE- Shaved Ice, you’re also investing in the capacity of local young people to make a living and contribute to their community.

ALL profits from Center ICE invest back into the shaved ice business (as needed) OR get reinvested as much-needed support for other youth-serving programs at The Center for Whitley County Youth. To learn more about The Center, visit www.thecentercc.com
