Tiniest Animal Advocates Team Up To Help Homeless Pets with 'Lemonarf' Stands

WAINSCOTT, NY — The sweetest kids in the Hamptons are spending their summer vacations helping dogs and cats who need a forever home.

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. announced the return of the Lemonarf Stand, A Club for Kids recently.

The club was created with an eye toward engaging kids and instilling a sense of philanthropy, ARF said. Club members raise funds for homeless pets at the ARF Adoption Center with "Lemonarf" stands.

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

ARF has created a Lemonarf Stand free starter kit, designed to help let people know that kids 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.

Last summer, the Club for Kids raised over $6,000 for ARF’s animals.

The kit includes the official Lemonarf Stand homemade lemonade recipe; the official Lemonarf Stand barking good cookie recipe; a Lemonarf poster to let everyone know that the stand raises money for ARF, that kids can decorate and personalize with items for sale; the official Lemonarf minibank, to collect all of the donations and keep them safe; and official Lemonarf cups and buttons.

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

Children participating can add homemade jewelry or art for sale, and set their own prices.

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

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

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons escues cats and dogs, provides quality care and offers sanctuary until loving homes can be found. Founded in 1974, ARF is the leading animal adoption center on the East End. For additional information, click here.
