Help This Elderly Ice Cream Cart Guy Robbed In Kennewick

If you have spent any time in the Tri-Cities, you have seen the elderly man that sells ice-cream from his cart along the river. Well that is the 76 year old man that was reported robbed this last weekend in Kennewick, and now he needs our help.

There is currently a tip jar outside Anything Grows LLC to collect money for the beloved elderly man. They have purchased ice cream from his cart for years and wanted to help in some way so they started the tip jar.
