Stop by the Lemonade Stand on Monday or Wednesday afternoons in July to support the children of Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless (AACH) and Homeward Trails. For the second year in a row the children have elected to give proceeds from the stand to support the animals of Homeward Trails. Last year they raised $500!
The Lemonade Stand is a summer program designed to promote self-esteem through small business entrepreneurship, financial literacy and community service. The Lemonade Stand helps students learn how to work together in group settings, while building leadership skills through the management of the stand. The community service portion of the program allows students the opportunity to “give back” to organizations that serve those who are less fortunate. This year the Lemonade Stand donated 50% of its proceeds to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue! The remaining portion will help to fund trip to King’s Dominion for the students.
The Lemonade Stand is operating on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 -7:00 pm through the entire month of July. The stand is located in front of the AACH offices at 932 N. Highland Street.
Third-, fourth- and fifth-grade members of the after-school DC SCORES team at Bancroft Elementary School hosted a one-miler race fundraiser to help save the homeless animals of Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and raised $1,286.50! Homeward Trails is proud to thank the DS SCORES team for all of their hard work and dedication!
DC SCORES team members at Bancroft Elementary School hosted HT rep Leslie Shedd on April 29th in order to learn more about the plight of homeless animals and ways to help.
The students chose to help homeless animals and invited an HT representative, Leslie Shedd, to meet with them and tell them more about why the animals need our help and what we can do. Among other things, the students learned “We can help by raising money or get donations, talk to your friends and family about the importance or spaying or neutering so they can’t have babies so that less animals are put to sleep every six seconds, talk to your friends and family about taking their dogs to the vets to get check ups… etc.”
