Kids Use Lemonade Stand Proceeds to Help Feed Others

What’s better than a refreshing glass of lemonade?

Is there anything better than a delicious, refreshing glass of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day?

While lemonade is a delicious way to quench your thirst, it’s also a way to help feed others who do not have regular access to nutritious food.

Two northern New Jersey siblings from Westfield donated enough proceeds from their lemonade stands last year to rescue enough healthy food for 200 meals!

“Thank you for all of your efforts to rescue food and feed those who need it,” the children’s parents said in a note to us.

Volunteering with Table to Table is easy. We offer many opportunities, including with our I-Rescue app!

If you’re interested in helping Table to Table in a way we haven’t mentioned, including hosting a lemonade stand and donating the proceeds, we’d love to hear from you.

Please visit our volunteer page, complete the form, and someone will get in touch with you. Thank you for your interest in our mission.

Table to Table is New Jersey’s first and largest food rescue nonprofit, bridging the gap between food being wasted and people facing food insecurity. We work with food businesses of all types to rescued fresh, nutritious surplus food, and deliver it for free to 300+ social service organizations, pantries, shelters, community produce markets and centralized distribution hubs. Through our community partnerships, Table to Table reaches families, children, veterans, older adults, and others in need, improving food security, nutritional access, and better health. Since 1999 we have rescued more than 120,700 tons of nutritious food—enough for 241,400,846 million meals—and delivered it to our neighbors in need, while also saving over 544 metric tons of methane from impacting climate change by preventing food waste.
