Looking for a great way to get your kid(s) involved in volunteering? Well you don’t need to go any further than your own neighborhood. One of the best summertime volunteer activities for kids are to start and run their own project and it doesn’t get any better than a summertime lemonade stand or bake sale!
Lemonade stands and bake sales are great because they require multiple levels of thought and work (as a mom I know it’s always great when you can add a little math and business skills in with your philanthropy). Your kids will need to buy supplies and calculate the total cost. Decide on a price for each item that will allow them to pay for supplies and make a profit. Then you get to test their marketing and sales ability! After the sale give us a call and you can arrange a tour (lets show your kids where all the money goes) at the same time that you drop off the donation. Lastly, make sure you send us a picture of your kid’s hosting their lemonade stand or bake sale for Harvest Hope and we’ll feature them on our Facebook page.
This is great! I love it when kids can learn through activities.
