Selling "Lemonaid" in Support of Robin Hood

On Saturday, June 3rd, dozens of families across Scarsdale set up stands and sold "lemonaid" in support of Robin Hood, New York's largest-poverty fighting organization. Equipped with lemonade, baked goods and a desire to help, kids of all ages raised money for people in need.

Robin Hood's Lemonaid program, which has been taking place for a decade, has raised more than a million dollars since its inception. This year, Scarsdale Lemonaid stands raised over $27,000 for Robin Hood.

"We are so appreciative of the entire Scarsdale community – from those who sell Lemonaid to those who donate," said Marianne Macrae, Robin Hood's director of family philanthropy. "We are continually inspired by Scarsdale's longstanding commitment to Robin Hood and helping low-income New Yorkers."

Robin Hood finds, funds and creates programs that generate meaningful results for New York's poorest residents – from soup kitchens and homeless shelters, to schools, job training programs and other vital services. Money raised from Lemonaid is earmarked to help feed hungry New Yorkers. Thus far, the effort has provided more than 800,000 meals to those in need.
