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.
