Ice Cream for the Soul (ICFTS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of nursing home residents through joyful, music-filled ice cream socials. Founded in 2017 by Verlena Sexton (a registered nurse specializing in geriatric care) and Karen J. Smith (a radio personality and event consultant), ICFTS was born from a shared love of community, music, and sweet treats. Both co-founders proudly served in the U.S. Navy and bring their dedication and warmth to every event.
