Grace and June inspire community children to join the Salvation Army in doing the most good on Saturday, Aug. 30

QUINCY — Grace and June Hendrian, daughters of Adam and Kellea Hendrian of Quincy have announced their annual Lemon-Aid Stand for Good to benefit The Salvation Army. The girls invite children across the community to join them in making a difference by participating in the Lemon-Aid Stand for Good event on Saturday, Aug. 30.

In a press release, Kellea Hendrian said, “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. 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.”

The event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 30, with most stands operating from 9 to 11 a.m. Grace and June’s stand will be located at Hardy’s Radiator (North 12th, across from the Illinois Veterans Home entrance), but children across the Quincy Area Command service area (including 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 for their Lemon-Aid Stand online at https://bit.ly/4kld13P. The Salvation Army will provide each registered stand with a start-up kit, including an iconic Red Kettle, tablecloth, official Grace & 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.
