Sarah's for NIH Children's Inn
Ever since the beginning of Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream in 2019, Sarah and her team have been dedicated to community engagement and service. As a long-time supporter of St. Jude’s Hospital, it was only natural for Sarah to brainstorm ways to support the National Institute of Health’s Children’s Inn. From ice cream donations, fundraiser partnerships, and book drives, Sarah’s Handmade is an enthusiastic supporter of the team and families at the Children’s Inn.
Please join us on Monday, January 9, 2023, at either scoop shops in support of the Children’s Inn!
Voice of America: American Tale Mini Documentary Series
The story of Sarah’s Handmade caught the attention of producers at Voice of America. We were very excited to be a part of a mini documentary series featuring immigrant stories. Please click here to watch the documentary. Please note that half of the documentary is in Korean, as majority of the audience are Korean. Sarah explains that back in 2000, when she had first immigrated to the US, she had to do whatever necessary to make ends meet and raise her daughter Annie on her own. After 18 years, she decided to turn her hobby making into a commercial business, which has been an absolute joy to see it grow in the community where she and Annie have been calling home for the past 20+ years.

Sarah's Handmade Wins Best of Bethesda!
Thank you for your continued support and this HUGE award of being named Best of Bethesda!

…opened a second location in the Wildwood Shopping Center in October, online ordering, contactless delivery and pickup, along with overwhelming community enthusiasm for local businesses, allowed them to move forward. Plus, they quickly discovered that people cooped up at home were craving sweet comfort foods, such as the shops’ dueling top sellers, Oreo Lover and Coffee Oreo. Ice cream, says Annie Park, had become “very essential.”

“When Sarah Park immigrated to Montgomery County almost 20 years ago, the Korean journalist gave up chasing scoops. She took up the edible kind in March when she and her daughter, Annie Park, opened Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream & Treats, taking over the former Wow Cow space in the Kenwood Station shopping center in Bethesda (which also houses a Whole Foods Market). Over the years, the Chevy Chase, D.C., resident had a cleaning business, worked for a CPA, was a bank cashier and worked as a secretary for a general contractor. She opened and owned Fresh Deli in Hyattsville from 2010 to 2018 and then retired. But it turns out retirement wasn’t for her—ice cream was, and now she turns out such intriguing flavors as lavender-honey, apricot-pistachio, cotton candy with rainbow sprinkles, and cherry blossom festival.”

“On March 7, Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream replaced the long-standing ice cream shop, Wow Cow, in Bethesda’s Westwood shopping center. Sarah’s Handmade Ice Cream—a family business—is the new neighborhood hotspot; it’s only been open for about a month, but the shop is nearly always packed. I spoke with Sarah, the owner; her daughter, Annie; and Sarah’s partner, Rollin, to talk about their new business.”
