Concretes for a Cause Returns to Make a Sweet Impact
Serving Fresh Frozen Custard and your community one blue spoon at a time
Having started in a small town, serving and supporting our community has always been important to us and is still at the core of what we do. Every year, we celebrate that service with Concretes for a Cause – it’s our way of helping you turn sweet moments into meaningful support for your community. Every scoop is a chance to show we care, and every guest plays a part in making a difference. We believe that even the smallest gestures can make a big impact – through a fundraiser that turns your favorite fresh frozen treat into a delicious way of donating to local causes!
$1 for every Concrete Mixer® sold will be donated to local food banks across the country. That means every craving you have for Fresh Frozen Custard helps provide relief to those facing food insecurity in your community.
How to show your support
It’s simple: You order a Concrete Mixer, and we donate. Whether you’re grabbing a classic flavor or have just found your newest mix-in obsession, every purchase during this week helps make a difference. Last year, over 517,000 Concrete Mixers were sold throughout the week; that’s a lot of community support!
Food insecurity affects families in every corner of the country. By choosing to celebrate your cravings during Concretes for a Cause week, you’re helping stock shelves, fill fridges and support neighbors in need.
All donations from Concretes for a Cause go directly to local food banks, chosen by each participating restaurant through their commitment to the Give Local Program. That means your Concrete Mixer supports the community you live in. In addition to supporting communities during Concretes for a Cause, Culver's is also proud to fundraise throughout the year for the Thank You Farmers® Project. Through our Thank You Farmers Project, Culver's partners with the National FFA Organization to fund scholarships, local chapters and hands-on agricultural education experiences for communities' youth.
So mark your calendar for November 17–21, grab a blue spoon, and get ready to join us in making a difference one Concrete Mixer at a time. Order a Concrete Mixer online or find your nearest Culver’s using our restaurant locator.
