    The Watsons family in front of ice cream truck with their dog

    Meet the Watsons

    Community spotlight . Frazeysburg, OH .

    During the summer of 2020, the Watson family purchased an ice cream truck—but they never intended on selling ice cream. Instead, they used the brightly colored turquoise truck to give out free hot lunches and ice cream to kids in their rural, small-town community of Frazeysburg, Ohio.

    “I grew up in Frazeysburg,” says Jason Watson, father of the Watson family. “There’s only one stoplight, one place to get groceries. It’s a close-knit community where people step up and help one another.”
