Every dollar you raise helps to support City Relief's mobile outreach programs. We bring food trucks, meals, essential supplies, and critical services directly to where people are living on the streets. Every $20 your lemonAID stand fundraises helps provides one person with refreshments, a meal, hygiene items, and connections to housing resources.

That's exactly why we created the toolkit! We provide step-by-step guides, ready-made social media posts, email templates, and all the materials you need. Whether you're 8 or 80, hosting 5 friends or 50 coworkers, we've made it simple. Plus, our team is available to support you throughout your campaign.

Absolutely! You can host a "virtual lemonade stand" by creating an online fundraising page and sharing it with your social networks. We provide digital graphics, email templates, and social media content to make virtual fundraising just as effective as a physical stand. Our toolkit has all the details whether you want to host or virtual or physical stand.

City Relief has been serving NYC for 35+ years with a 70% program ratio—meaning at least 70 cents of every dollar goes directly to helping people. You'll receive regular updates showing exactly how your funds are being used, and we can share stories of real people whose lives were changed through your support.

Every dollar counts! Even if you raise $10 instead of $100, that's still enough to provide lemonade and snacks for someone during our outreach. There's no minimum requirement or penalty for not hitting your target—we're grateful for any amount you raise. The goal is getting communities involved and helping however you can, not hitting specific numbers.
