π It's that time again! π
Our third annual family lemonade stand will be held from 12-5 on Saturday, August 19. And, like the last two years, 100% of money raised will go to filling blessing boxes through the Columbus Blessing Boxes Project, this particular blessing box and others throughout Reynoldsburg included. π
Shopping for and filling these boxes is something our son Jonas loves to do, and having a lemonade stand to raise money for this cause was 100% his sweet little idea. We were blown away when his 2021 lemonade stand raised $1465. The outpouring of support was both humbling and overwhelming - especially from folks in the community we had never even previously met! - and we were able to purchase so much food and fill so many blessing boxes with that money! Jonas wanted to have another lemonade stand in 2022, and so we did....not expecting it yo be as successful. But the combined total between our 2021 and 2022 events was just shy of $2800. π This money has helped keep so many blessing boxes full, including this one that we host. We're praying this year's event will allow us to make just as big an impact, if not more.
Here's the scoop:
π Saturday, August 19 (weather permitting,
12-5ish. Rain date is same time on Saturday, 8/26.)
π Woodsfield Place in Pickerington -
cul-de-sac at the corner of Granden and
Woodsfield Place (PM me for exact address
if you'd like, but you'll see us there on the
corner)
π Fresh made lemonade, fresh baked cookies
and brownies, chocolate covered Oreos and white
chocolate dipped Rice Krispies (see
pictures of some of last year's goodies
in the comments). New to this year's lineup: White chocolate
drizzled Fruity Pebble Rice Krispies and black and white
cookies.
π Pre-order deals available: Freshly made
chocolate chip cookies or brownies, $10/
dozen, ready for pickup on August 19 (or
drop-off at church or work, depending).
Must pay for all pre-orders by Wednesday,
August 16. Send me a PM or comment
below to place your order. Last year I baked about 200
cookies for pre-orders. I dare you to make me double that
this year. π
π Lastly, because so many people asked the last two
years, we can offer options for electronic
donation. Zelle (740-602-1620) or PayPal
([email protected] - please use
friends and family option to avoid fees being taken out).
π We would be grateful if you'd spread the
word through sharing this post or info.
Stay up to date on all lemonade stand info via our page Blessing Box Adventures with Jonas. Note: This is a new page from last year, so if you followed our previous page, just know that one is no longer used (I lost access to all pages and groups I'd managed).
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support of our precious boy. We are so excited to see what kind of a difference we can make in our community through this little lemonade stand.
