$1 from every waffle cone sold in participating Scoop Shops to be donated to organizations supporting civic engagement and democracy-related community initiatives

BURLINGTON, Vt., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ben & Jerry’s announces the return of Waffle Lotta Good, a limited-time fundraising program running from September 28 through October 12, 2026 in participating Scoop Shops across the United States. Supporting democracy couldn’t be easier!

During the two-week program, $1 from every freshly baked waffle cone purchased will support grassroots organizations working on civic engagement and democracy-related initiatives in communities across the country. These groups strengthen community participation and help ensure that people have access to information and resources for the midterm elections.. Simply put, Waffle Lotta Good is how Ben & Jerry’s turns a waffle cone into an act of civic power.

“Grassroots organizing is the most powerful tool we have against the erosion of democracy,” says Ben & Jerry’s Social Mission Director, Carleen Pickard. “When customers buy a waffle cone, they are directly funding the community activists who build that power from the ground up; the people knocking on doors, registering voters, and ensuring that everyone has a voice in decisions that affect their lives. That is how democracy wins.”

In recent years, the Waffle Lotta Good program has raised awareness and funding supporting progressive organizations such as Migrant Justice and Black Voters Matter. To learn more about Waffle Lotta Good click here. To find a participating Scoop Shop, visit www.benjerry.com.
