Following a successful debut summer season last year, Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) has announced that the second season of their Lemonarf Stand, A Club for Kids, was also extremely profitable. ARF created the East End program as a way to engage young children and show that age doesn’t matter when it comes to giving back to the community.
Throughout the summer, children set up a Lemonarf Stand, where they sold a variety of items from lemonade to baked goods to homemade crafts and jewelry. The program was such a hit that ARF was constantly restocking stands with supplies of the free Lemonarf starter kits, which include cups, recipes, signs, buttons and a mini bank to collect donations. Molly and Alan Vashovsky were even lucky enough to have Ryan Seacrest stop by their Lemonarf Stand outside Red Horse Market in East Hampton for a cup of lemonade.
Through the Lemonarf Stand, the Club for Kids raised $4,500 for ARF’s animals. Children who participated in the ARF initiative were featured on ARF’s Facebook Page.
Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons is located at 90 Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton. For more information, call 631-537-0400 or visit www.arfhamptons.org.
