Project Lemonade Sending Foster Kids To School With Clothes, Backpacks

In 2012, a group of caring and compassionate community members came together and created a pop-up store for foster youth to shop for free; they called it Project Lemonade. The goal was to send foster youth back-to-school with self-esteem and confidence, knowing they looked just like every other kid on the playground. In one month Project Lemonade served 1,000 kids!

With community support this pop-up became permanent, expanded its programs and reach, and has served more than 17,000 foster youth in 32 counties across Oregon and SW Washington.

Project Lemonade is on a mission to meet the needs of foster youth in Oregon and SW Washington, join them!

Winston Churchill said, “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” With so many odds against our foster children let’s do what we can to turn lemons into lemonade. Thank you for your support for foster youth in our community!
