Hendrian sisters hope to inspire other children to help Salvation Army with lemon-aid fundraiser on Aug. 31

QUINCY — Grace and June Hendrian, daughters of Adam and Kellea Hendrian of Quincy, will have their annual Lemon-Aid Stand for Good to benefit The Salvation Army on Saturday, Aug. 31. The girls invite children across the community to join them in making a difference.

“We’re excited to invite other families, church groups, sports teams and anyone eager to give back to the community to join us in ‘Doing The Most Good’ by hosting their own lemon-aid stand,” Kellea Hendrian said in a press release. “Hosting a stand offers countless benefits. It teaches kids empathy and compassion, allows parents to see their children thriving and joyful while doing something meaningful, and creates lasting memories for everyone involved.”

Most stands will operate from 9 to 11 a.m. Grace and June’s stand will be at Hardy’s Radiator on North 12th Street, across from the Illinois Veterans Home entrance. Children across the Quincy Area Command service area in Adams, Pike and Brown counties in Illinois and Marion, Ralls, Lewis, Shelby and Monroe counties in Missouri are encouraged to set up their stands at homes or local businesses. Each stand can customize the drinks and treats they offer.

Participants must register their lemon-aid stand online at bit.ly/Lemon-AidStand24. The Salvation Army will provide each registered stand with a start-up kit, including a red kettle, tablecloth, official Grace and June’s Lemon-Aid Stand signage and payment information for The Salvation Army. All proceeds from the event will go directly to The Salvation Army’s Family Services, which supports those in need by addressing homelessness and hunger through comprehensive assistance and resources.
