Through Dec. 28, buy one frozen beverage and get the other half off. The Pisgah Church location is also offering quarts of ice cream to go at $9 for one, $12 for two. Seven holiday flavors are available through Dec. 31 including Egg Nog, Peppermint, Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie.

Canned-food donations are also being accepted for a local food bank.
