Host a Community Donation Drive

Community donation drives keep Project Lemonade stocked with our most needed items.

We are on a mission to provide youth with clothing that fills their basic needs, and inspires self-esteem. When businesses, schools, places of worship and organizations host collection drives it raises vitally important items and spreads the word about supporting foster youth.
