Sweet Kids Sell Lemonade To Help Homeless Animals

WAINSCOTT, NY — If there's anything cuter than little kids selling lemonade, it's little kids selling lemonade to help animals in need.

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc., or ARF, announced the return this week of the Lemonarf Stand, A Club for Kids.

With an eye toward teaching kids to give back and help others, ARF has an official club to involve kids in raising funds for the animals at the ARF Adoption Center.

"A Lemonarf Stand is just like a regular lemonade stand, only better," ARF representatives said.

ARF has created a Lemonarf Stand free starter kit, designed to help let people know that young participants are an important part of the ARF team, and that all of the money raised will go directly to the care of the animals at ARF, a release said.

Last summer, the Club for Kids raised over $4,000 for ARF’s animals.

The kit includes the following items to help make a Lemonarf Stand a hit in any neighborhood:

• • The official Lemonarf Stand homemade lemonade recipe. Kids can use this recipe or create their own refreshing beverage.
• • The official Lemonarf Stand barking good cookie recipe. Kids can use the recipe or make their own treats.
• • A Lemonarf poster to let everyone know that the stand raises money for ARF. Kids fill in what they are offering for sale and the price. They can decorate the poster as they see fit.
• • The official Lemonarf minibank, to collect all of the donations and keep them safe until the child can bring the money to ARF.
• • Official Lemonarf cups.
• • Official Lemonarf buttons, and ARF tattoos to let everyone know you are an official member of the Lemonarf team

"The most important part of any Lemonarf Stand is that the children have fun," ARF representatives said.

Creative kids can feel free to add items for sale such as homemade jewelry or art and set their own prices for the items for sale.

Participants can also let ARF know where and when they are having their Lemonarf Stand and ARF will add it to their events calendar on Facebook.

Everyone who runs a Lemonarf Stand this summer will also have their photo taken when they bring their donation to ARF and will be featured on ARF’s Facebook page.
