Nestled in the heart of Braintree, Massachusetts, Jen Foley’s love for her community is as sweet as the ice cream served at her shop. Since opening Foley’s Ice Cream Shoppe in July 2018, Jen has made it her mission to foster connection, support, and joy for everyone who walks through her doors. 

A vintage-style shop inspired by the 1940s, Foley’s offers homemade waffle cones, baked goods, and even special treats for canine visitors. But its true hallmark isn’t just the delicious desserts—it’s the altruistic support Jen provides to her community.

From hosting fundraisers for local schools and charities to sponsoring baseball and softball teams, Jen embodies the spirit of service, making her the perfect Impact Free Jack Honoree.

Her efforts go far beyond typical business practices. At Foley’s, veterans receive a daily 10% discount—a small but heartfelt token of appreciation for their service. And on Free Cone Mondays, Jen sprinkles a little extra joy into people’s weeks. By posting a list of names each Monday, she invites locals to drop by for a complimentary ice cream cone, transforming an ordinary day into something special. 

Jen’s generosity extends deeply into the fabric of Braintree. Over the years, she has partnered with countless nonprofits, schools, and individuals to raise funds for those in need. From organizing events that bring people together to rallying support for urgent causes, her shop has become a hub for kindness and compassion. 

Beyond her work within the shop, Jen’s contributions have helped create a ripple effect throughout the community. Parents, teachers, and local leaders often point to her as an example of how small businesses can make a big difference. 

With plans to expand her community involvement, Jen shows no signs of slowing down. She reminds us all that it’s possible to build something bigger than ourselves. Through every fundraiser, every free cone, and every heartfelt gesture, she proves that kindness and generosity are at the core of a thriving community.

Be sure to visit Foley’s Ice Cream Shoppe and experience not only their incredible sweet treats but also the warmth and care that have made Jen Foley a true pillar of Braintree.
